Preventing that split probably would have prevented the Sino-Soviet split, which was a result of the same intersocialist tensions. Yugoslavia would've been able to avoid the IMF and marketization path it was forced to take and meaningfully increased the economic sustainability of the socialist bloc. Definitely Stalin's biggest error.
I want to read more of the thought from that time period, because it definitely seems to coincide with the Americans having nuclear weapons at a time when the soviets didn't- I can see the rationale to not want to be contesting something that is so essential that it risks a wider war, but by getting bluffed into inaction they effectively surrendered in the long run.
