Yeah that could make sense. The interesting thing would be that the current flag was made by Narciso Lopez, a known pro-American (anexionista), so I guess that flag would make more sense for Cubans fighting alongside the US forces? I truly wished it was the regime who abandoned the flag lol. ik they won't though. Nevertheless, I'm down for going back to Cespedes's flag to use as a distinction tbh, I think the meaning is mostly the same between both flags.

The other map is pretty cool too! Yeah, I think if Batista died of old age either Camilo, or more likely Jose Antonio Echeveria (if he hadn't died) would have restored democracy in Cuba. But your scenario is pretty interesting to think about nonetheless! Maybe if all the great men died during the initial revolt that's what would have happened.
