But I just wonder, if Percy could've written it his own way from about Battle of the Labyrinth up, and Luke didn't die, and Rachel didn't become the oracle, and Calypso was free of her curse- what would've happened? Those what-if's are hard because those circumstances are nearly impossible.

It was Rachel's fate to become oracle. It was set in stone as much as the Great Prophecy was.

Calypso was only freed at all due to Percy requesting it at the end of The Last Olympian. If she was free of the curse before-hand, then Percy wouldn't have met her because she wouldn't even been on the island.
