If Adora never went, Catra would've went there, found the ship and have no idea what to do with it or why. she or Scorpia would have no motivation to return to the Horde and just stayed and become some lord of the Crimson wastes, the Horde without Catra or Scorpia, the two big combat leaders would be left with Hordak and Entrapta who aren't good leaders as they are more concerned with their tech, which without Catra returning would be left without more to use and study.

Adora would then be able to defeat the Horde easier, Glimmer's mother would never had to sacrifice herself, Glimmer would have no reason to seek out the Heart of Etheria and thus Scorpia to rebalance the world to activate the weapon, the weird reality break would never have happened nor would Hordak have been able to get a signal out. the Horde would be finished, Horde Prime would never know where they are, Catra and Scorpia would never be able to make a force to equal the Horde's might without its resources and thus eventually lose to the alliance.

Adora without the Horde threatening them would be able to seek out answers with far less danger, figure out what happened and figure out what Light Hope really intends, work together with Entrapta to modify the sword to make sure it can't set off the weapon, then figure out what to do about Horde Prime, who doesn't know about Etheria in this timeline and how to get out of Despondos safely. as well as deal with whatever Shadow Weaver tries to do without needing to worry about a big army opposing the alliance.

If Adora never listened to Shadow Weaver at the beginning of season 3, the alliance would already be victorious. The situation would be far better than the end of Season 4, as they would have time to figure out what to do about Horde Prime and better resources to do so with.

I know benefit of hindsight, but its still true that every time someone took Shadow weaver's help, it led to things getting worse. Intentionally or unintentionally.

I don't exactly recall it being Shadow Weaver's plan to go to the Crimson Waste?

Also while you're entirely correct that going to the Crimson Wastes caused all that... I don't think we can blame really anyone for that happening. How was ANYONE supposed to know that going out into the Crimson Wastes would lead to their enemy gaining just the right amount of stuff needed to make a horrifying doom portal that threatens to destroy all of reality?
