Some random thoughts:

1. My inclination is the Confederation timeline is basically a brief "bubble" created purely for a short while before the timestream looped back around. Q *always* meddled and *always* created the Federation timeline because he's outside of time. Which adds an interesting element to Q and Picard's relationship because this means he always knew Picard was influenced by himself. The Prophets are probably the only people who could figure out how that kind of 4th dimensional thinking works.
But a disturbing idea is that without Q, the Confederation might have been the "real" timeline. Which might explain some of Q's skepticism of Picard's claims.
2. Depending on whether the Borg are ever going to be used as enemies again, I think they could go with either Agnes being a splinter collective or she and the Queen had a falling out only for Agnes to become the NEW Borg Queen after Endgame.
3. I'm assuming that Picard's mom and dad found the key long before this. Its just they left it behind the brick because, well, that's where they assumed it was "meant" to be like leaving a key under the mat. It's more symbolic than anything as Picard accepting that he can't change the past and must accept it.
4. "One Renee must die and One Must Live" isn't anything to do with time travel or separate timelines, that was just fan speculation. It's just the argument that the only way to get Renee safely on the mission is for Doctor Soong to think that he's succeeded.
 
85% of Berman Trek was watchable and likeable and had good story telling and had internal consistency...
.

85%? That certainly is a number. Not an accurate one. Honestly, if modern Trek had come out of the gate even remotely resembling the Berma-Trek formula, I wouldn't have cared a lick. Even SNW, episodic as it is, doesn't feel anything remotely like BermaTrek.

Which is a good thing. Berman had it's era. Time for something new. If I want specific era I know how to find it.
 
This does make me wonder what the "real" Star Trek timeline would be like if all time travel (and trans-temporal interference by quasi-godlike entities) had been prevented. How different would everything be?

perhaps it would look like the Kelvin verse before Nero ;)

My headcanon is the original TOS is the "unchanged" timeline and Archer was primarily famous as a warp engineer after the NX-01 program was delayed for decades. The Romulan War ended up making the Federation anyway.

The Klingon arriving at Broken Bow was a Butterfly Effect that created the entire ENTERPRISE series.

Daniels initially thought Archer was unimportant because of this.
