I think feanor's early death was almost inevitable, considering his obsession with the silmarils, he would never have allowed the oath to rest as his sons occasionally did.
Also without his death many more ills could easily have come to pass, I mean, would he have left Luthien alone as his sons did? Thingol was already alienated and this could easily have spread to infect other elvish subgroups making it impossible for them to work together against Melkor.
