I see 3 outcomes, in order of least to most in likelihood and excitement:
Julius see’s the error in his ways and establishes what essentially is an entirely new politcal system that is so good and just that It would stand today.
Same scenario as above except his grandson grows up to one day claim his rule and reverses everything.
He is killed, and for the exact same reasons as current lore. Either because his arrogance causes him to deny what will happen, or because regardless of any attempt to avoid such an outcome those who sought the power he had would still seek out that same power. Both lessons are fairly important but I think the latter one is often missed in the countless retellings. Power both corrupts and it’s one sexy hot removed.
From what I can tell, the “tyranny” that Caesar was killed for was because he wasn’t for the Roman ownership class and was using his power to counteract the huge wealth disparities that existed at the end of the Roman Republic.
If FDR had reacted to that like he should have, the course of history might be pretty different. For one thing, the Bushes might have never gained the power they did.

Also the aim of the Business Plot against FDR.

Agreed.
There should have been a massive purge.
