As it stands now, you could have a veritable modified Groundhog Day situation. They could retool the events of any of the previous movies over and over.
The problem is introducing the multiverse concept when you have 2 competing forces with the ability to alter the past. If there's no longer a linear timeline, then there's no way there can be a final resolution.
It's like playing checkers, except that when a piece is jumped it isn't removed from the board. It's just placed at the back of the board away from the immediate action.
In fact, Skynet is actually pretty stupid. Why waste your time battling over winning this specific timeline? There are obviously timelines Skynet goes live, John Connor isn't able to defeat Skynet , and the resistance dies.
Then, the question is, since Skynet is a singular entity, what the hell is it going to do with all that free time now ?
Can of worms.

Skynet is the Dr WHO no one likes.
Why? How? When?
No one cares because the rest of a great action movie was spoiled with some horrid storytelling.
[QUICK ASIDE] The people who even know who John Connor is are in the 30-50 age range. They were Parents of or children of the Cold War.
That's why this series had some bite to it.
"John Conner" is a ****ing adjective to some local preppers here. "I'm ready, this thing is full on 'John Connor...I'm telling you..."[/ASIDE]
