I guess paradox never flashed in the writer's minds.

If Reverse Flash never existed, then the whole timeline we were watching would have never existed. Eddie never has a reason to die, Nora lives and Barry goes down the path of the Flash from the original timeline, which in turn creates Eobard.
Kind of like a grandfather paradox. That timeline only exists if Eobard goes back in time. I think the only solution that made any sense was that Eobard existed until he didn't, otherwise the characters are just in a timeloop.
