No. Fuschia would not have helped - they would still have to license Oracle APIs in order to maintain compatibility with their own, derived APIs.
Google's actual workaround to Oracle's lawsuit was to use OpenJDK, which also massively improved their Java compatibility. OpenJDK is produced by Oracle and under GPL, so using it (or just relicensing Apache Harmony as GPL) cuts off the API copyright claims (as you now have a license).
