Oh, yes that is guaranteed, at the start would be planned only the wedding between Max and Adelaide but once the Dauphin became widowed Maria Antonia would be the most logical match for him

But the argument still stands that with a marriage less than two months old no one's going to be looking at a French match for Maria Antonia at the time. Max? Sure. He gets Madame Henriette or Madame Adélaïde (Louis was attached to Henriette, and there's thought that had she lived, Madame de Pompadour would never have come to assert the level of influence - or rather, that she would've been "balanced out" by Henriette - she did.

Well I was assuming who Dauphine Marie Thérèse died on schedule. If the Dauphin is not widowed as OTL Maria Antonia will surely marry elsewhere, likely in Saxony as OTL.Assuming that she is still single or that the dauphin is still widowed on schedule. If Maria Teresa lasts until, say, 1750, no way they haven't found an alternative candidate for Maria Antonia by then. Admittedly, there is a shortage of candidates, but matches to Savoy, or her OTL one to Saxony, for instance, are still possible. George II was looking - in the beginning of the 1740s for a Catholic bride for the duke of Cumberland (either an Este or a Savoyard princess) as a way of separating Britain and Hannover by violating the Act of Union. Unfortunately, the '45 intervened, and no Catholic girl wanted to marry "the butcher".
Uprising was in August 1745, (after Pfaffenhofen in April), so things might go differently (as in the rising flames out like the 1715 or 1719) and Maria Antonia could end up married to Cumberland (a match with the Netherlands makes more sense than a match with Modena or Savoy) or in the event of a victory, to Bonnie Prince Charlie.
Joseph II will definitely NOT marrying Maria Josepha of Bavaria/Netherland as second wife here but her cousin Maria Kunigunde of Saxony...Well realistically if Max died childless, then we'd probably see a War of the Brabant Succession, as the exact line of succession would be quite blurry at best. Most of the Provinces allowed for female succession, so his sisters would have claims, and I can easily see the Austrians under Josef II making a play for their former territory as well. Hell if MT was smart she would include secret revision provisions in the Treaty, so that the Habsburgs could inherit if Maximilian dies childless (make it a grant to Max's line, not the Wittelsbachs in general). So we'd have the Saxons, the Badens, the Elector Palatine, and the Habbsurgs (doubly strengthened if Josef II had a son with Maria Josepha).
