To recap what I’ve said previously, the Jedi Order didn’t fall because of Anakin, it fell because of Sidious, and leaving Anakin on Tatooine would have done absolutely nothing to stop it. The plan that led to the massacre and fall of the Jedi Order was Order 66, and that was already in motion before Qui-Gon even met Anakin. The clones had already been ordered and I’m pretty sure were in early production, the war that would bring them onto the field was being kick-started, and the political set-up that would put a Sith Lord in charge of the Galactic Senate was about five minutes away. Nothing Anakin does later really adds OR takes away from that. It’s all already moving, and it will come to fruition with no input whatsoever from Anakin Skywalker. Vader was a bonus for Sidious. He was not in any way integral to the plan.

The mistake the Order made that led to their annihilation was accepting a booby-trapped slave army and being willing to lead them into battle. Their half-assed political involvement and casual acceptance of slavery was what damned them. Anakin and his fall was incidental and symptomatic of the root cause of their demise.

The main thing Anakin does in the prequel trilogy that has real impact on the fate of the galaxy is father Luke and Leia. That’s honestly about it.

Sidious needed Anakin in the order, that is what him being the chosen one means.

To do what? Anakin literally didn't do anything that affected the fate of the Order itself. That was all the clones and the Order's decision to accept them.

The Chosen One was more to do with him killing Sidious. The fact that he had been a Jedi and returned to that to kill a Sith Lord at the end, out of love for his Jedi son, was the thing he was destined to do. He rebalanced the Force after Sidious unbalanced it, but all of that was in the Original trilogy, not the Prequels. In the prequels, he's mostly a piece the Force is setting up on the board for later, fathering the twins and getting into a position beside the future Emperor where his later betrayal will have the most impact. But to the fall of the Jedi Order, he really is incidental. They were damned before he ever showed up.
