Whose to say that only Eve could have eaten the fruit. Maybe Adam would’ve eventually be tempted, or maybe they would’ve left on their own, or maybe they would’ve been banished for something else. There’s way too many unknowables to say that something could or couldn’t happen.
Having a sample of one doesn’t say much about the infinite set possibilities. So saying things would be different is just wrong. They could be different and most probably would, but there is no way to guarantee it. It’s unprovable.
This is all assuming we accept the faith based interpretation. If we do not Adam and Eve are just as fictional as Harry Potter and Frodo Bagins, and say nothing about what could’ve happened.
I said eve because she is the one who ate it. It doesn’t matter if it was Adam or eve, only that it was eaten.
There was only one rule in the story. So, no, there was nothing else for which they could be banished.
Honestly, if you really need to die on the hill that completely different things could result in the exact same outcome, despite the literal deviations, then be my guest.
