I think Judaism, with its dietary restrictions and cultural practices, would simply not be appealing on a wide scale for conversion to be possible.

Islam has those same restrictions and more.
Could Christianity actually die out in this timeline?
They were traditional. Also they conquered their empire, and it was a long process lasting well into the second half of the Muslim first millennium until most of the areas of what had once been known as the Caliphate were majority Muslim.Did they come in with Islam or were they already traditional in the Mideast at that time?
Also nothing stops someone else from adopting Christianity.
Wouldn't a bigger Judaism actually benefit Christianity somewhat (as opposed to a pagan Rome; obviously officially endorsed Christianity would be the best outcome for Christian proselytization)? If the Roman nobility were Jewish rather than pagan, they'd be easier to convert, I assume.
I am fairly certain that circumcision by itself is enough of a deal breaker for this to occur. There is a reason Judaism never really took off in our timeline...
It didn´t stop Islam from getting popular.
