I think that considering enough people have spoken out about there’s a bit of a fault there. As far as the timeline goes, it wasn’t erased cuz lul plot armor, but it was a possibility that they knew of and still went along with anyways and that’s all that really matters in the end.
I think it's fine if people didn't like how it turned out for Zodiark, but I also think it is still a proper use of subversion, especially with how they tied the end with the past action of Zodiark's final user, Fandaniel.

In terms of placing it before the Loporrit arc, it may be jarring to some, but I personally think it's a welcome break from what came before and what will come after.
