The writers could use a Dragon Break to make all possible paths cannon at once. Oh God please no, the one in Daggerfall was bad enough :P

I maintain that once the Dominion invades the Empire again, the White Gold Concordat is rendered null and void. Thus, no more Talos worship ban or Justiciars allowed in the Empire, so Skyrim/Ulfric has no reason to rebel anymore. Plus Mede II is dead, and nearly everything relating to the Civil War stems from him and his decisions.

I would do it like this if we were making a game based on the inevitable Aldmeri-Empire war

Just have it say that the Stormcloaks inevitably lost, the Empire just has too many resources. Just say that Mede was assassinated and it was rumored to be the Dark Brotherhood.

Keep things vague like that.
