Except for the whole part about Lennart's project already having a prior non-public existence.
Discussing historical counterfactuals like this based on limited public testimony is a difficult matter, but my input here is that the ultimate breadth of changes envisioned by the systemd developers would have triggered a split anyway.
SJR's comments concern systemd-the-PID1.

Is there any reason, any at all, that you've provided to think that Lennart wouldn't have abandoned that project to contribute to Upstart, if the CLA issue had been able to be overcome? Because the testimony of people who would actually know this indicates that he would have. I mean, I'm happy to drop this argument if you find it a "difficult matter," but it seemed to matter to you enough to bring it up in the first place, and you seem to be focusing on trivialities that you think support your point rather than some pretty unambiguous statements from people who would know (and it seems hard to accuse SJR of some sort of pro-Red Hat bias ehre).
