As long as this is Orochimaru from his pre-escape days, they wouldn't. I think his interest in the Uchiha would see shadow deals and keep the Uchiha in power. Danzo would probably have considerable power. All in all, Konoha would probably be more focused towards genetic enhancement and shadow war than current-Konoha's more open style. It would definitely have its benefits. It's likely that Obito would not have been able to use Kurama as the Jinchuriki would definitely have Orochi's interest and be better protected. Even so, it's likely that the Akatsuki would've succeeded as Orochimaru would've seen little interest in meddling with neighbors like the Sand, and so not have figured out the Akatsuki's plan in time.
