Historically, Louis XV of France was the great grandson of Louis XIV. His ancestors had died before they had a chance to succeed Louis XIV. Louis XV's heir looked like he would break that unlucky streak until his untimely death in 1765 of tuberculosis, making his son the new heir. And we all know how well that turned out.
So, how might this alternate Louis XVI's rule have turned out, assuming Louis XV dies roughly (give or take a few years) on schedule from OTL?
