Overall it is meanigless to the outcome of the war. Even if Lee tightens up and takes the field at Gettysburg, strategically the South is getting chewd up out West. Plus he is not going to decimate the AoP. The reserves further west in Ohio through Illinois are mobilized to pursue Lee and sandwich him....plus the Union Navy was putting a choke hold on Southern ports. Overall Meade doing what he did instead of your scenario prolongs the inevitable.

disagree. politically, it could have been a disaster for the north. even though the union was winning out west at this point, the theater that the public cared about was out east against Lee

The only way to win was politically. Lee crushing Meade somehow, Lincoln losing his re-election and then a political peace was the only path.
