Time paradoxes suck because they don't make sense and then your story doesn't make sense.

Also, I think I read somewhere in EW that they had to rebuild what had been destroyed by the star shower, which would mean they are not just visual. It was just visual, as you say in ShB, when Elidibus made everyone see it to awaken their Echo. By the way, why does no one in the Source awaken to it when they see the stars? I hope it's included in 6.1. The Final Days were kind of disappointing. We had this amazing trailer and build-up since ShB and then it's just like Aurora Borealis. At that time of year, at that time of day, in that part of the country, localized entirely within Radz-at-han.

What we have is a Causal loop or a bootstrap paradox, I could try and find the words to explain it but The Doctor did it much better than I could

"The Doctor begins by explaining the bootstrap paradox to us: Let’s say a time traveler goes back to meet Beethoven, and finds that the man never really existed. The time traveler decides to take out their sheet music, copy it out by hand, and publish the works so that the universe isn’t robbed of the music. But the question becomes—where did Beethoven’s music truly come from?"

So, in essence, we always went back, a constant moment in time. our road would/has/and always will lead us to traveling through time to that very moment.
