In an alternate timeline, where production on series 1 wasn't a giant car crash and Eccleston had stayed... how different would series 2 be? The Rose story, Nine meeting Sarah Jane, would other episodes have had to be changed or even scrapped altogether to fit that Doctor?

Personally I think New Earth would have to be seriously rewritten to fit Nine. Can’t really see a lot of its comedic elements working for his incarnation although his outrage at Novice Hame would be just as powerful.

Well Jack probably would have stayed for one - and I can imagine some of that New Earth comedy working with him. I don't know that he would have stayed for the whole season - maybe he'd leave in the parallel world like Mickey did.
If Eccleston had not regenerated in the Season 2 finale, I can imagine Rose getting the exact same ending, including "burning up a sun to say goodbye" (can't you just hear him saying that line?) with a touch of the "you were fantastic" thrown in.
But then again... I know RTD considered having the "you are not alone" in New Earth, which would have allowed the Master to appear in Season 2. Perhaps if it hadn't been the first season for a new Doctor, he would have followed through on that...
