In no particular order:

1. Azmuth would have retained his initial characterization from the OS.

'''2. Jetray would not be able to enter hyperspace. ''' Ben may have many other incredible powers, but unaided interplanetary travel is one of the most OP abilities you can get in space-based sci-fi.

3. Alien transformations would be introduced at the pacing actually set by the show, which is to say faster. If Ben has the DNA scanner active, he will actually bother to use it. If ~20 unseen aliens  have been implied to exist, some of them will actually show up. If the the Ultimatrix can evolve all ~40 unlocked samples, more than eight will appear. This applies to Nemetrix predators, as well.

4. Ben would leave Bellwood more, because, as the OS demonstrated, not all weird alien activity takes place in Bellwood. This was eased somewhat in OV with the introduction of Undertown, however.

'''5. Certain characters would not have received unnecessary and bad redesigns.''' I have a list, but I need not expound it now.

'''6. Vilgax's villain credibility would have remained untarnished.''' No getting thrown into space by Way Big even when he's big, no catching Ben's cold, etc.

'''7. Ben's blend of goofiness and competency would be balanced''' in a way that says "complex, realistic character" rather than "varies by episode."

'''8. More aliens and planets would be more inhuman and unearthly. '''Species with nothing in common with humanity would be more prevalent, and planets with perfectly earth-like conditions would be virtually out the window.

'''9. The Plumbers would be a more shadowy organization. '''I always imagined them this way, and was rather disappointed when I learned they are fairly standard galactic police.

'''10. Xylene would return.''' I like her.
