Killing Hitler right now would be a mistake. No nuclear arms race means no nuclear power, no cold war (which was better than a hot war), and far less advancements (kiss computers bye bye!).
You’re being downvoted, yet evidence is outer clear that a great many technology advancements have directly derived from conflict pressures. We’d get the same effect if it weren’t for fucking small-government, low tax shit-for-brains, but we don’t. When vast, collective resources are poured into a field, it generates a lot of waste but also a lot of progress. Progress isn’t impossible without war, but historically we see far more advancement during times of war than during times of peace.
If we ever cure cancer, it’ll be because we had a war and, during the development of some weapon, the huge concentration of resources resulted in discoveries that someone noticed - as a side effect - happened to cure cancer. It’ll never happen without a war because there’s no private sector motivation to cure cancer: there’s too much money and industry invested in treating cancer.

I feel like no Hitler would potentially change so many things that it’d be hard to make a concrete prediction on what the world would look like today.

The only thing that would be sure is that no one born in this timeline after he was killed in the altered timeline would exist.

You’re essentially right.
Ahh, just like the old Reddit. Thanks!
Real solution is sending a nuke through time to kill Hitler at the start of the war.
You could reinvent computers while you are there
We woul get another authotarian even if Hitler wasn’t around
This is the premise for the Red Alert series in Command and Conquer - Stalin becomes the aggressor when Hitler was wiped
