BUT, if it was always her destiny to become Walpurgisnacht, then due to the mechanism of Madoka's wish, then Homura should very much not exist in the post-witch world at all. Madoka herself, who is pretty much fated to be the most powerful witch in the world, was utterly eliminated in all timelines, as a result erasing Madoka herself from all existence. And yet here we have Homura, still alive and kicking and the only one to clearly remember Madoka. I don't think Madoka's wish extended to "Homura is special", and hence no reason to assume that Homura is immune to whatever effects Madoka's "no-witches" reality would contain except for Homura maintaining Madoka's memory, which is attributed to a 'miracle'.

Also, I don't remember the "Walpurgisnacht defying the laws of time" part from anywhere.

I can concede on the Soul Gem and Grief Seed part, but there's still a problem with this: it still assumes that Walpurgisnacht is a time-travelling entity, which it has shown no hints or indications of being such a thing.
