Okay, all done. Here's the entire new DC timeline illustrated and retold as adapted from my DCU History. I only needed to make a few tweaks and subtractions, but it reads pretty much the same though aside from the repositioning of Wonder Woman, Superman & Batman's debuts and removing a few of my own additions to squeeze in outside media stuff.

I'm thinking of making some revisions to my DCU history now that Doomsday Clock is finished and further clarified the nature of the DC Metaverse.
I really like the idea that Superman himself created the Earth-1 & Earth-2 split by he going back in time to Krypton prior to its destruction, but I'm thinking maybe I should dump that notion in favor of Barry Allen being hit by lightning. I'd still stick with the notion that Earth-1 & Earth-2 were essentially conjoined twins in terms of their history and inhabitants, but the instigating incident for their creation would be the arrival of the Silver Age Flash.
What do you guys think? Should I leave it as is or change it to better reflect the comics?
I'd split the difference.
Superman Batman and Wonder Woman had their history moved a few decades and the JSA largely doesn't exist on Earth-1
Other historical events excluding the heroes' involvement are identical on both worlds. (World war II the people elected President, Olympian gods,
So Barry becoming the Flash is actually the first event that occurs solely on Earth-1. It might be that other changes date back to when Superman visited Krypton, but those related to when the heroic age began, while unique events like Barry's different from Jay origin aren't present until 1956 (or the Earth-1 current date for that).

Fear not, the white jumpsuited Diana Prince is indeed included in the Silver Age section. The above image is just the broad overview of the history not the full thing, so that particular era wasn't included there.
Here's the full history, which is far, far more exhaustive and covers everything that I could squeeze in.
This covers the Dawn of Time up to 1938

My guess is that's how DC Editorial (or possibly Steve Orlando) is going to explain it if they really want to include as much of Wonder Woman's overly rebooted continuity as possible. My guess is that Steve is also going to die and be resurrected a couple times, as Steve Trevor Jr. isn't going to fly these days.
This will be part of the next update. Am I missing anyone or anything important?
