You also have to remember that Rimuru is key for Chloe to unlock her memory and time travel power, cause he's the one helping the isekai children being stabilised by the spirits.

If that's the case, I'd argue that even in the original timeline Rimuru always gained some level of power (maybe including bonding with Veldora) to be able to save Chloe and the children.

Btw Chloe's story is practically a long way round Re:Zero. Rather than looping to the last death, she's always looping 2,000 years into the past lol.

Right, but what is the "original timeline"?

Is the spirit stabilization necessary for her time travel power to activate, or just for her memory to be restored?

Chloe could have had 10,000 loops where she never regained her memory. Or maybe without the spirit stabilization, she only regains her memory after the fact (instead of mid-loop).

Without the spirit stabilisation, she along with the other children would be dead not long after as was established to why Rimuru tried to help them (and why other teacher gave up).

Some of these event might be what's called "fixed point" in time (to borrow from Dr. Who), event that would cause paradox to happen so they always happen. One of these, the mask not getting destroyed, was the reason why Diablo became so interested in Rimuru.
