Well, those segments are dead. If we want to keep Dottore as a Harbinger but avoid this situation, the Tsar could bind Dottore with his name like he did Pierro. So the worst of the unethical and mad science is avoided. Avrelian!MC would probably still avoid Dottore though.
Dottore might be smart enough to avoid targeting Avrelian!MC (what with his overprotective family and friends), but other scientists might not. I’m sure there are some Akademiya scholars who’d think it’s a good idea to target the Shnezhnayan prince. They are after all keeping Nahida imprisoned.
Cue enraged Cryo Archon, fae goddess, and moon goddess descending on Sumeru. And Nahida gets set free earlier!

For the rest of Teyvat… Hmm…
Maybe since Avrelian!MC doesn’t leave Shnezhnaya for a few centuries the legends/stories surrounding him get a bit outlandish? Like, “kept hidden in Shnezhnaya so people don’t steal him away for his beauty” kind of outlandish. There have to be at least some rumours about Rauthvangi’s actions, those can quite easily be misconstrued. (Avrelian!MC gets incredibly embaressed whenever his family brings up those stories.)
Maybe have stories about “the delicate young fae prince” who had been traumatised by a “manipulative heretic from Khaenri’ah” who had managed to steal his name. (The only thing they got right here was the trauma, Avrelian!MC was/is Reed Miller, he knows how to fight!)
If the Akademiya scholar situation does happen, it won’t help the rumours of him being “delicate” and “hurt by the greedy actions of other”. (Avrelian!MC gets fed up of the rumours at one point and goes back out as Reed Miller, the immortal thief and defender of the innocent. It’s great stress relief.)
With all these kind of rumours around Teyvat, people go a bit insane when Avrelian!MC does eventually start to leave Shnezhnaya (completely unaware that he has been visiting Nod Krai frequently over the centuries). Maybe have the first appearance be in Mondstadt or Liyue? To smooth over something the Fatui could have done maybe?
And instead of a high-ranking Fatui member or even a Harbinger showing up to the meeting, it’s the Prince of Shnezhnaya. Nobody was prepared for this.

I'll never understand the greediness and stupidity of the Akademiya scholars and sages.
From imprisoning Nahida, ro now going after a foreign prince, are they asking for Sumeru to go to war with one of the other nations? All in the name of 'wisdom'? 😑
But hey, if they did try something, at least Nahida would be free early! So there's that at least@
And yes, let Avrelian!MC go to Mondtsadt. No one would be prepared for him!
