This probably belies my ignorance, but I'm guessing not much would change. All the research on galaxy ages and star formation would have to be reinterpreted, but I bet most of it would be salvagable, just with a different first mover. Like refactoring a codebase to replace a dependency.
If the work is good, it's reasonably independent of the story being told.

One of the features of Big Bang is how it’s sufficient to explain the structure of the universe via Gravity alone, yet there’s a ton of data indicating that pervading Plasma and Electromagnetic interactions within are at play. But since they have no place in the BB model they’re discounted as marginal phenomena. But, if the paradigm shifted - to put it in Popper terms - a whole new box of interesting goodies would pop open!
