Maria Teresa Rafaela of Spain survives, consequences?

So, I'm trying to consider how to make some changes to the progress of France during the 18th century, and I was wondering, if Infanta Maria Teresa Rafaela of Spain, the first wife of the Dauphin Louis had not died in 1746, and had instead survived. Furthermore, if she lived to have more surviving children, what consequences could this have had for France, and for relations with Spain and in general?

As a list of kids, here's what I was thinking:

Maria Thérése of France (b. 1746)

Louis, Duke of Burgundy (b. 1748)

Elisabeth (b. 1753)

Charles (b. 1757)
 
Too little, if any. The French nobility will still against any reform; the bad harvests are not going to be butterflied by this; the financial crisis is going to take place anyways, so...

The relations with Spain improve a bit, that's all.

Was it guranteed that the financial issues were guranteed? Even if dauphin Louis came to the throne in say the 1750s or such?
 
What would be needed then for France to be reasonably okay economically by say the 1740/1750 mark especially if there was no war of Austrian succession.
 
The French state was very inefficient, and once you call for reforms, they often spin out of control. So, not joining the ARW nothing changes too much. Perhaps when in 1778 Prussia and Austria are on the brink of going to war against each other, France, without the troubles of the ARW, would support its Austrian ally and there you have it. France is fighting a war anyway, so doesn't get a financial break.

Hmm, true, though there's nothing prompting them to support anyone, unless they feel a dire need to.
 
Just to be allied with Austria. You don't care about your allies, you loose face and they are going to look for help elsewhere...

Very true, and also true if the diplomatic revolution didn't happen and you have France allied with Prussia. So, I guess the french revolution was somewhat inevitable, its success on the other hand was not.
