If you remove the Dragonborn off the ecuation there is no reason for Alduin to attack Helgen, so Ulfric's head goes off, end of story.

I mean, for those saying that without the Dragonborn the Civil War is even. It's also my reasoning. What do you think would have happened to the Stormcloaks if Ulfric's head was cut off? Personally, I think we would have another Forsworn-like faction on our backs doing small raids but nothing concrete (Forsworn are such a pain in the ass). I doubt they can rally behind anyone else and that's one of their weakness compariring to the empire.
