Every "what if" is meaningless speculation that is equally as valid as its counterpoint. The framing in the article is unnecessary to its thesis and ignorant of fact.
That quote is clearly saying that the state is using repression in a way that makes it complicit with fascist organizing not that James Fields wouldn't have killed anyone if J20 hadn't happened.
I'd read it that way if it didn't phrass it in such a way as though the J20 defendants were a crucial missing link.
I think it is more likely it is poorly worded than it is that they are saying James Fields would have been stopped if J20 hadn't happened.
