If it takes place with Edwards consent then we might well see Plantagenets with their foot in from the north east prepared to invade France. On the other hand it could lead to George trying to claim the throne by military mightI'm currently reading the War of the Roses by Dan Jones. In it he says that Edward wanted to marry his younger brother to a foreign bride and that a match for George with Mary of Burgundy was considered. What if this marriage had taken place?

If they'd had another brother perhaps said brother could be usedWhich is why Edward was opposed to it IOTL- he didn't want to empower his disloyal brother. Maybe if you switch things up he'd be willing to let Richard marry that way (though arguably Richard was too important for Edward as a viceroy in the north for Edward to be willing to release his services).

In the book, there are two points where Mary was considered for George. The first was before he rebelled and illegally married the Neville daughter when Edward wanted the international marriage. The second was after the rebellions when the Neville wife was dead and Edward was opposed to it. I'm looking at this from the first time. So Edward is able to convince George to go along with the betrothal/marriage and he doesn't wed a Neville and rebel.
