If Qui-Gon had survived Phantom Menace:
He would have trained Anakin, and good luck, Palpatine, because the whole Jedi Council couldn't manage Qui-Gon; I don't know how you could short of succeeding in killing him.
I absolutely believe that he would have found a way to free and rescue Shmi. Not to raise Anakin, as that would not have been possible with the Council's oversight. But to have her near enough to Anakin that the boy could see her. [ And, honestly, I kind of ship Qui-Gon and Shmi. ]
But here's another thing that may be an unpopular opinion...
If Qui-Gon had survived the Phantom Menace, and everything else went the same, including Maul surviving in the manner he did... I genuinely think that when Maul appeared later, when the damage became evident and/or when Maul attempted to give warning... I think Qui-Gon would not automatically have discounted what he had to say simply for the fact of who was saying it.
Maul successfully killed perhaps one of the few Jedi who might have heard him, who might have heeded him, who might have, belatedly, answered a child Maul's question from the comics—If the Jedi exist, why have none of them brought him out of his torment at Sidious' hands?
And the answer he would have found via Qui-Gon is: had they known of him, had they been able to sense him without Sidious obscuring them, had the Jedi who discovered him been Qui-Gon... his life might have been very different.
Because even then, I can see Qui-Gon reaching out to him, trying to get through to him beyond just having a shared enemy in that moment.
Maul is every bit as connected to the Force as Qui-Gon, every bit as attuned, but he's working with the wrong tools, the wrong understanding, the wrong concept of the world and the galaxy and the Force as a whole.
No one will ever convince me that Qui-Gon wouldn't have sensed that with more exposure and that he wouldn't have tired to get through to him.
The Living Force would have told the truth of Maul.
And Qui-Gon would have heard it.
And, as events unfolded, Maul killed the one person who might have seen more than a Sith, more than a monster.
