Adm Janeway's 1st option in Endgame

Was she planning on using the original temporal rift to bring back Voyager but he Klingons messed it up? I've watched the episode for the 1st time the other day and enjoyed it.
 
No.

Remember when Captain Kim told her there wouldn't be enough power to bring her back, and she told him she'd figured out this was a one way trip?

She always planned to give Voyager the armor and torpedos so they could fight their way through the nebula and get home using the transwarp hub.

If there was another option, then all those people who grouse about her "letting Joe Carey" die would actually be "right".

It wasn't not enough power, it was 2 much power, Kim was afraid that the temporal device was going to explode. Not like a bomb perhaps but like a really bad day trying to drive to work and steam hooting out of your radiator... Or maybe a solar system levelling explosion, like Braxton did done?

Janeway brought tech with her that B'lanna couldn't install because it was "incompatible".

Arnour might have been cooler, but what Voyager really needed was a cloak and they've had that technology three times over, in Nightingale, Counterpoint, and Dark Frontier.

Remember that Miral tested the device which means she already went back in time, but whether that was a minute like in the Einstein strapped into the Delorian, or she had her own huge adventure in the past the writers assumed we couldn't be bothered with, but baby Paris had already seen history and got back to the future without any serious drama.

It had to be a one way trip because even if her time line still existed as a divergency, travelling forward in time would only return her to a new future history where another Admiral Janeway will be waiting to kill this woman who is obviously going to kill her older self because there can be only one.

It's selfish to alter the past for personal gain, but the Admiral was too stupid to see that she gained nothing fom this scenario because it is the other Janeway whose like is being enbiggened.
