That is kinda hard though, but if we can somehow butterfly the rise of the Danestis, then we'd just open up more questions. Moreover, what kind of PoD would we need to prevent the Danestis from becoming powerful?
Go native? That would have been a lot harder, especially with their Muslim faith. I suppose they can go the same route as the Gagauz Turks in Moldavia and convert from Islam to Orthodox Christanity.

well 1402 is when the Ottoman Interregnum started, interestingly enough all of Bayazids sons were with him during the Battle of Ankara when he was captured. You could have Ankara become a disaster with Bayazids and his all of his sons being captured or killed.Several of Bayezids vassals did join Timur when he was winning and many could decided to see this moment as their shot at independence. With no threat of the Ottomans Wallachia could become stable and expand because their rulers won't have to worry about the Hungarians and the Ottomans supporting rival claimants.
We could see the Ottomans come back if at least one of Bayezids sons survives as a vassal when the Timurids eventually break up.
Instead, Wallachia just has to worry about Hungarians supporting rival claimants. Better than OTL, but not assured freedom to be stable and expand.

As for the Hungarians, I'm not sure if they'd be tempted to conquer Bosnia and Dalmatia in order to expand their domains. What else can I add? Oh yeah, the Byzantines may eventually be conquered sometime down the road, although it might be Wallachia who conquers it, or someone else.
After all, Elizabeth of Bosnia was married to Louis of Hungary. Although I also wonder if Wallachia can avoid becoming a Hungarian vassal at all.
