Even if that's all that happens, who comes back from Battleworld might be completely different to who left for Battleworld, so the returnees might still have trouble trying to blend in, and, could change the world with how they think of themselves. Much like when Hulk returned from Sakaar, he thought of himself and his companions as completely different from the culture cringe Hulk that left, and look what Worldbreaker Hulk did at the end of WWH.
Depends on how much the characters are privy to how the cosmic plot devices operate. If they know that their friends and loved ones were killed and then brought back in new versions by Franklin or the Beyonder or whoever, it might be at least a little weird for them. If they don't know or don't remember, not so much. Still kind of creepy to the reader either way, though.
It really depends what version of beyonder they use in this new secret wars (unless it's a completely new version). The original beyonder was so vast that all of marvel was a drop of water compared to beyonder (he was the ocean), This was also stated and what the beyonder was all about. The character was massive back then, he could restore not just the universe but the multiverse with complete ease, not to mention he could probably still absorb all of current day marvel into his beyond realm and his realm still probably won't be 0.1% full..after the merger (his beyond realm is a vast multiverse). I guess we will have to wait and see which beyonder it is in this new secret wars.

this sounds like a very dangerous idea with serious implications. what if we never see various human characters again?? like lee forrester for example. i don't think marvel have seriously considered what this could mean?
If they want to use them again, they get recreated/resurrected along with the rest of Earth and the universe at some point.
The same goes for cities and settings such as the Savage Land. Somebody's going to want to write a story set in a Paris that is still in France, not some weird alternate universe zone somewhere on Battleworld, where you have to explain how this Paris's history is different from the history we know every time you go there. Or have a story where people commute from NJ to NYC every day again.
Come to think of it, how is the 616/1610 Manhattan going to stay fed and powered, do you think? Most of Manhattan's electric comes from power plants elsewhere in NY and NJ, and the amount of food and other supplies brought into Manhattan to keep the population taken care of every single day is absolutely huge... and once it's cut off from its home Earth and surrounded by chunks of Earths from other realities, those supplies will be interrupted and not immediately, if ever, resume. Do any of the superhumans likely to be present at the right time have the ability to conjure that much food out of nothing if need be, or are people going to starve?
I wonder how the characters ate in the first Secret War1? Was there an abundance of produce just hanging around?
If Secret Wars goes for any more than a few days, this food problem is going to have to be addressed, let alone the infrastructure problem. Mind you people survived in the Age of Ultron without any infrastructure.

The MU seems confined to New York at the best of times.
I doubt it'd make a huge noticable diference.
Well, first off, the heroes were just a handful of people. That's a huge difference from the approximately 6-7 million people in NYC right there. And if I recall correctly, they pretty rapidly found a base that seemed to have plenty of supplies for them.
Although there was Denver, or at least a substantial chunk of it. Much smaller than NYC in terms of population either way, but even so I'd have to reread to see how they handled food and other supplies, or if it was just glossed over.
Now, Age of Ultron, there were supposed to be few enough actual living survivors scavenging through the wreckage that I can see canned and other preserved food lasting for the months that that timeline persisted.
