I was re-reading very early chapters and there was a conversation between Pixis and Eren that stuck out to me that sums up the current situation quite well.

In Chapter 12, before sending Eren off to plug the hole in Trost District, Pixis brings up a legend where a very powerful non-human enemy would appear and all of humanity would put aside their differences and unite to stop it. Eren calls the legend far too idealistic to actually happen, and even if that enemy drove humanity to the brink, the uniting aspect would be shakey as best.

Taking into account what's happening now, even if Eren is stopped, the hatred for Eldians would not go away at all. Remember that the Marleyean treatment of Eldians is the BEST treament an Eldian can hope to get in the outside world, and that was BEFORE Eren initiated the Rumbling. The hatred for Eldians has undoubtedly increased significantly in the wake of Eren's attack at Liberio.

In Chapter 108, Magath explained to the Warriors that the world's armies quickly came together after Eren attacked and were planning a "Scorched Earth" attack on Paradis in a few months. Seeing that neither Magath or the Warriors spoke of this "Scorched Earth" attack to Hange and the 104th member tells me quite clearly that even if Eren is somehow stopped, Paradis will be annihilated anyway.

That's pretty much what I see at the moment.
