This is a TL idea that was partially inspired by a reread of Diverge And Conquer and partially by Hamilton!

What if the French Revolution hadn't gone crazy, but had stabilized early on?

I don't know enough about the Revolution to point to a specific POD. Maybe someone other than Robespierre (Lafayette?) takes over the Committee of Public Safety. Maybe Robespierre himself is more moderate. Maybe some of the French clergy are radicalized, espousing an early version of liberation theology.

Is this plausible? Are there any good timelines on the subject?
