Ancient Warfare after Athenian Victory in Peloponnesian War

As you all know Sparta came out of the Peloponnesian War the victor, and established a hegemony over all of Greece, which despite how short lived it was, was nevertheless a hegemony. The Spartans were, of course, incredibly conservative, especially in warfare. If the more open Athenians had won the Peloponnesian War would it have any effect on Greek warfare, which at the time was very stratified and defined. Would their openness help an Athenian hegemony repulse the Macedonians and their innovations? Or even later would the Greeks adapt better to the more flexible military of the Roman Republic?

Assume that the nature of their victory is slim but definite, followed by a Helot rebellion in Sparta permanently crippling the old Lycurgen regime of old Sparta.
 
Probably not. The Spartans were later defeated by Thebes, who in turn was defeated by an alliance of Sparta & Athens. So Sparta alone could not hold back military innovation.

If you want to prevent Greece from being conquered by the Macedonians, a better departure would be Epaminondas of Thebes surviving, and the Theban Hegemony keeping the peace. No brutal wars that keep the Greeks divided and exhaust them, and Epaminondas has a chance to institutionalize his military tactics.

I assumed that after my scenario Thebes would not really be in a position to challenge Athenian hegemony.
