Budget-wise, I don't see any chance of LG happening unless Apollo was
also cancelled; therefore, Grissom wouldn't have died at all since
there wouldn't have been an Apollo "plugs-out" test for him to die
in.

When I get ever get done with my Gemini Sim for Orbiter I am planning
to do lunar gemini and other alternate Gemini.

Cool! I'm looking forward to it.

In the future history I
sketched out for the scenarios I had Apollo 1 fire occur during a
vacuum test with no crew. The resulting investigation uncovered the
shortcoming of the Block I capsule.

Finally continuing on I had the Apollo 4 flight destroying (by the
pogo problems that happened on 6) itself resulted in serious delays in
the Saturn program. NASA choose to go with a with a Gemini Landing
program...

At which point, with the lunar landing goal already accomplished, the
government would have cancelled the troubled Saturn program, and Apollo
along with it.

... followed by later landings with Apollo.

IMO, it never would have gotten the chance.
