Some of us Dead Folks is old, and some (like me) are working this lovely Sunday!

In short, I think that if for some reason Gandalf's plan to defeat Sauron would have been foiled, Ilúvatar, through the Valar, would have found some other means of bringing about Sauron's demise. The existence of an evil, incarnate divine spirit overpowering Middle-earth would not have been allowed indefinitely.
Then again, who knows how many more lives would have been lost, and how more more destruction wrought on the land, had Sauron endured another thousand years or so.
