I'm sure that if Finwë hadn't died, and Morgoth still stole the Silmarils, that Fëanor would have still led the Rebellion of the Noldor, and gone to Middle-earth. The fact that one of his reasons was to avenge the murder of his father probably won him more followers than if he had just wanted to get the Silmarils back.

But Melkor also was there, and he came to the house of Fëanor, and there he slew Finwë King of the Noldor before his doors, and spilled the first blood in the Blessed Realm; for Finwë alone had not fled from the horror of the Dark.
