If Ethiopia had escaped conquest by Mussolini-

Ethiopia as a whole wouldbe better off without Italian misrule and the general havoc they caused. However the emperor's rule could end sooner than OTL, he suffered several coup attempts and so without the prestige & fame he gained after the Italian invasion. His crown would be less secure.

Which could lead to a more reactionary emperor. Many Rases considered Haile Sealssie an upstart anyways, but they were not really that fond of the idea of restoring Iyasu either. Iyasu's son; Yohannes Iyasu could have become a puppet of the reactionary elite though.
