She isn't the type to jump on Cornelia's bandwagon, but she would be considerably less freaked out than what would happen if she were only made to shoot Lelouch and not forget anything.

She would hardly be a monster to the world, at least anymore than the rest of her family. Clovis and Cornelia started massacres, while she would be seen as someone who lured Zero out with peace rather than war and then only went after HIM.

I'm not saying she would feel like a hero at all, just that Lelouch's likely course of action wouldn't have devastated her to the point you seem to think it would. *Cough*ComfortZaku*Cough*

She herself admitted her reasons were selfish, so she wasn't much better than Lelouch as far as motive goes.
so he would not only have her destroy everything she's been working for along with suzaku
he'd also make ulterations to her memory and (as a consequence) personality so that she would be fit better into his chain of events
that would be beyond evil

Ideally they would, but even ignoring my theories about the SAZ starting a war, there is still the fact that most Britannians saw this as their government betraying them or weakening to the point that it couldn't protect them. The nobleman attacking the kid shows that many Britannians weren't taking the SAZ well and there would be wealthy and influencial people who would try to impede or sabotage its progress. Again, outside the SAZ's boarders nothing would change.

Terrorism would be discredited, not wiped out. Cornelia would do that, but it would probably crop up again if/when she left.

Similar establishements around the other Areas are very unlikely. Reforms work best when there is a need for them, and even then all change is "rocking the boat" to someone. Euphemia giving up her title seperated her from the rest of Britannia in showing that this was HER idea, not Britannia's. Unless terrorism got alot worse in the other Areas, then the other Viceroys didn't have much reason or incentive to implement such things, and Schneizel pushing it would make him dangerously unpopular.

Simply put, Britannians would want to remind the Japanese outside of the SAZ that they were still Elevens, and the Japanese would want to "remind" the Britannians that Zero scared their government into the SAZ. When two such groups meet, things wouldn't end very well.
as opposed to the britannians reminding the elevens of their place despite zero fighitng against them
and the japanese wanting to remind the britannians that they are not so toothless anymore
the SAZ was an attempt to defuse the situation before it explodes
and it did with the black rebellion, in large part BECAUSE of the failure of the SAZ

Suzaku called him out on this in Turn 21. Lelouch did want a better world. He just couldn't accept that a bastard like him wanted it because bad people can't want good things or else those good things would be bad things, so he claimed it was all for Nunally's sake because she's innocent.
nunnaly was a justification for his quest for revenge
not for his desire of a better world
