I'm curious about Gamora, too--because since the stones were all returned to their point of theft, then Gamora is still killed by Thanos years afterward.
Except that since Thanos discovered the Avengers' plan before GOTG, then doesn't that mean he's vanished himself and all of his henchmen/armies/ships from that timeline? The stones have all been returned, but there's no Thanos, no Gamora, no Nebula or cronies to search for them, so no gauntlet, no snap. An alternate timeline without Thanos and any subsequent consequences has now been created as of 2014 (the year Nebula was sent to). All of the planets devastated by Thanos since that point are fine in the new timeline.
So the timeline as of 2019 is now five years divergent from the new one created in 2014 with the sudden absence of Thanos, et al.
Gamora can still exist, because she's from the past, but now she only exists in the post-Snap timeline.
