Consequences for Europe of Napoleon accepting the Frankfurt Memorandum?

Any territories that the Swiss lost prior to 1801 is lost forever (those being the Canton/Prince-Bisophric of Basel and the Canton of Geneva), but the Canton of Valais (lost in 1810) is restored to them. Neuchatel would be restored to Prussia (as it already de facto was by this point in time.)

Personal union with Prussia did not last in OTL. Has it a better chance of working here?

I'm wondering too if permanent Swiss neutrality would still become a thing, or if there could still be a Sonderbund War or something like it down the line.

Also hard to say. Swiss neutrality (and by extension albeit to a lesser extent Scandinavian neutrality) had its genesis from the Napoleonic Wars, and even then it still fell to the Sonderbund War (though I wouldn't exactly count this as a knock on Swiss neutrality, the Sonderbund conflict was more of a civil war than a war with another foreign power)
