For what it's worth, remember what we learned from the Alex raids. Alexander used his prodigious powers to consider all possible timelines and came to the conclusion that the only timeline that did not result in the end of the world was when Alex secreted himself away in his little pocket dimension so there would be no risk of his power being used and bringing about the world's destruction. Part of that vision was that the only successful timeline was muddled in such a way that Alex only knew that there was a possibility that the world would survive, and that said possibility would only manifest in the timeline in which we, the WoL, defeated Alexander and continued to do what we had been doing. I think this "muddling" was Alex seeing the timeline split that came about when the Ironworks sent CT and G'raha back in time to the First. My point here being that the primal of time itself saw only a single diverging point in all the infinite futures that were considered, which lends a lot of credence to the idea that this was a one-time deal. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the future we are responsible for creating at least some of the conditions that eventually allow for events of ShB to unfold in the future, essentially wrapping all this up into another stable time loop.
