any plot with time travel will either be about time travel, or people will complain that the time travel bit was random

I wouldn't say Bender's Big score is about time travel. Neither the Time Machine, despite the title. Nor much of Dr Who.

Though I guess it depends on what you mean by "to be about"

hm right, the Time Machine was much more about travel than causality; maybe constrain it to modern plots?

speaking of which, what was the first story to do a proper time travel plot with potential paradoxes?

Any story with travelling to the past has potential paradoxes so the Time Machine itself is as good a candidate as any...

...but if you mean a story in which the problem is adressed at some point, my guess is it became fashionable in the 1930-40s

the twin paradox is much older, but it's not really proper time travel
