They will still have Eren who eventually has the power to become 'god' of all titans (at least the dumb dumbs) which also means access to the memories of the Reiss line and the First King (which could have useful knowledge indeed). They will possibly have a functional second titan shifter. AND they will have whatever is in that basement. Also, the undying gratitude of all of Humanity inside of the Walls and all the allocation of resources that will bring especially now that Wall Maria territories come online.

Meanwhile, there are no SC victory conditions whereby the homelanders do not lose all of those "warriors" who are the dumb dumbs, and at least the KIA of Bertolt but also possibly Reiner, because Zeke can efficiently climb the walls, if everything goes against him he might retreat. So if the SC wins then Zeke will have lost a lot of 'warriors' and at least one but possibly multiple shifters that took many years to train.
