With Yelena's line "You can't take the violence away from people" paralleling hard the conversation between Uri and Kenny, right before Uri's death, Isayama has made it blatantly obvious that the story will end with the world at relative peace. The only thing that remains to be seen is what will that miracle be. Violence is necessary, but eventually it is not enough to alter the trajectory of history for the better. It only prolongs the cycle oh hatred. Which leads me to believe that Eren's defeat (if his goal is the rumbling) won't be simply a matter of power levels and fighting skills.

The alliance besides Mikasa (and Levi) can't fight Eren. Mikasa and Levi are immune to Eren's powers due to their bloodline. Levi's story ends with Zeke, so he won't be going up against Eren. Magath is weak and the rest are all Eldians, susceptible to the power of the founding titan. Meaning, Eren can defeat the majority of his friends without killing them, simply by making use of his newfound powers. But if it comes down to a fight between Mikasa and Eren, if Mikasa is serious about stopping him then Eren's only option would be to kill her. If Eren is serious about destroying the world, then he will first have to kill Mikasa. So, it's really a matter of priorities for Eren at this point. Can he kill Mikasa for the sake of freedom and everyone else on Paradis? I'm sure he can't, so Eren's eventual failure is guaranteed.
