Could Voyager have made it home if Tuvix never got killed? (self.daystrominstitute)

Let's assume that Janeway never separated Tuvix and kept him as a crew member. Would the crew have still gotten home?

Assumptions:

The subsequent story arc (and episode plots) are generally the same
Any episode where the threat is caused by (or related to) the individual personalities of Neelix or Tuvok never happens
Any episode where the day is saved by the individual personalities of Neelix or Tuvok is more dangerous
We can assume that the strengths/weaknesses of Tuvix remain throughout the series

Do they still make it home? If not, what episodes are likely to end in disaster?

Tuvix wouldn't have been able to meld with Suder, so he might not have been in the right mindset for his redemption arc and the ship would've been taken.

However we'd have a whole bunch of seasons with the cavemen (is it cavepersons now?)
