WI no Crisis of the Late Middle Ages?

Some places in Europe didn't reach pre-1300 population levels until the 1800s, the massive depopulation during the Late Middle Ages radically altered the potential course of human events. What would be the effects of continued growth and stability into the Renassiance and later with Colonziation and Industrialization?
 
Even butterflying the Great Plague (that is hard to do), an huge famine would strike.
OTL, right before the Black Death, famine began to reappear in Europe, while they virtually disappeared : population grew too quickly, while the productive capacity of the continent weren't enough.

With famine, you'll have to deal without the positive consequences of the plague : popular classes managed to have better statues and became somewhat healthier.
See, with a lack of workforce, landowners and lords had to make bigger concessions if they wanted their own to stay there and/or to attract newcomers.

What remained of servage in western Europe achieved to disappear, obtention of new rights became more widespread.

Finally, the plague may have quickened the urbanization of Europe : many villages were deserted (with entire regions turning wild) and despite high death rates, towns attracted many refugees, allowing them to keep roughly half of the pre-epidemic population.

Artistically, Renaissance was a reaction against the late Gothic movement, really marked by a macabre and "cynical" point of view mixed with the rebirth of mysticism and religious features. No plague would meant a different artistic movement of the XIV/XV centuries.

To resume : you won't prevent an huge crisis. There was simply too much issues Europe had to deal with and, even if it's a dark tough, the plague epidemic managed to resolve overpopulation issue and to quicken the development of Europe.
A crisis based on famine would have been maybe less deadly in itself, but more destabilizing.

Finally, while plague somewhat equally stroke Middle-East, Africa and Europe, a crisis touching Europe only would certainly benefit to Arabo-Islamic world. It wouldn't reverse the balance, but would prevent a too great European dominance over it for the XIV/XV centuries.
By exemple, delayed Reconquista is possible.
