Luckily, jet engines are on their historical development times, so we won't have to worry about MiG-15s until 1947+.

Thank God the He-162 first flew in 1944

By 1950's propeller reached its physical peak.

Hrolf you will be ahead with jet engines development anyway, or at least on par with UK.

Will you build a Heinkel HeS 011 turbojet powered Sabre?

I think a modern propeller designer would definitely disagree with you there.
As far as high speeds are concerned, propellers have reached their peak. Not much you can do when your tips are in the transonic region.Quoted

and suffered structural failure shortly afterwards...

The most problematical thing about the early swept wing jets is that most were failures and all were dangerous. It's difficult to tell what would and wouldn't work without actually flying it - a problem for the paper designs we're likely to see here. It's a pity that there aren't more Italian designs from that period available, but some of the designs that were drawn up are really nice. It's probably best to be conservative with designs at that point and not push too far too hard too fast.

and the HeS-30 being developed fully instead

The conservative approach leaves you behind, way behind. Design, build, fly, break, repeat..

At least on the up-side, the intrusion of jets will increase the divide between the aircraft built by large powers - like Atlantis, Italy, and Britain - and the second and third-ranked manufacturers.

At the moment I don't see the divide myself really. We've got countries with tiny manufacturing and technological bases producing lots of world class designs. Jet engines are rather harder to get right and really should exclude most countries. Italy can't really compete with the UK and Germany there so a more limited approach is needed; a single engine company producing designs one at a time, but with the resources to make sure it works.

Other accounts of the cancellation of the HeS-30/-006 have it being just a simple matter of a bureaucrat making the wrong decision

Mexico will just buy US (or hopefully German, Hes01?)
