That would be highly improbable, Melkor winning, since he was so spent of his innate powers. His servants are not him. .

Well, he made a mistake of separating his armies so that landed valars defeated them one by one. And yet dragons almost made the whole invasion force flee in panic... Assuming that they were more successful/Melkors commandment was more clever, what would have happened after his victory?..
I agree that he could not destroy everything, sure. He himself became part of Arda.
