Let's say the battle against Maul ends pretty much the same with the exception of Qui-Gon dying, instead of dying he just gets a serious injury that he recovers from; Obi-Wan still "kills" Maul.

I think the council would deny Anakin without Qui-Gon's death tbh, I think the only reason they let Obi-Wan train him is because it was their dead friend's dying wish. Qui-Gon would end up leaving the order, training anakin in the ways of the force outside of a rigid system. This would also prevent Dooku from going to the dark side but I think he would still leave the order and join Qui-Gon and Anakin, at least some of the time.

The clone wars would be pretty similar but more drawn out I'm guessing, without having Anakin to tell the story of Darth Plagueis to, the council wouldn't have found out he was a sith and he would have spent more time looking for a new apprentice.

Ultimately, I think Anakin would live up to being the chosen one and bring balance the force if he didn't get corrupted by Palpatine and had a real father figure like Qui-Gon.
