Plus the pressing question what on Earth Arthur could ever do and achieve in such a scenario when he couldn't even unite the lands of Albion and lift the ban of magic but failed in everything the first time already.

Especially if the plan is for Arthur to return and pick up where he left off, despite the world being completely different. He's unlikely to achieve anything.

Of course, the plan for Arthur to return seems to hinge on the Sidhe healing the guy who (a) at no point during his reign reversed the anti-magic laws, and (b) they tried to kill and/or control on more than one occasion. If they didn't burn the boat and its contents and enjoy a hearty laugh at the thought of Merlin thinking that they'd ever contemplate lifting a finger to help him after he thwarted their plans and killed their Elder, I'd say that there's a very real possibility that, if they healed Arthur, they'd have stuck in a Sidhe passenger.
