I can
buy Steve waiting till Peggy was dead in their timeline before triggering his return, which might have kept that timeline from collapsing until he left. Thanos' own loop is more handwavey. Only The Doctor can get away with this sort of thing because they pretty much ignore logic and I assume he's bouncing between timelines all the time.
I'm also upset about
the people popping back into fatal circumstances--they poofed out of an airplane that's not there so they plummet to their deaths, patients who were under surgery appear in operating rooms and die before the doctors can figure out what's going on, people appear in streets adn get run over. I think time travel is sloppy plotting.
Thanos didn't
destroy the stones in a way that fucked with the timeline, so if there's a problem with the stones not existing, they took care of that by bringing the past stones into the future where Thanos got his head chopped off, thus replacing the destroyed stones with past versions of the stones. That past version of the Soul Stone didn't have Gamora's soul,
though.
Do we know for sure that
the un-dusted people appeared at the same place and circumstance they disappeared from?
Connie,
I don't think Steve did trigger his return - he just aged up naturally and showed up at the park. I think. Maybe. And yes, people reappearing after five years is definitely a huge problem. I've been ignoring it, but... wow, yes.
I don't think the exact nature of the
Desnappening was ever made clear. Depending on the amount of control Bruce had over it, he's smart and conscientious enough to put in a "Healthy and Safe" stipulation into his "wish", for lack of a better term.
Fun for
those people who disappeared with fatal diseases!
Thor, on the other hand, totally wouldn't have had the forethought to
not inadvertantly bring people back at 30,000 feet without a plane.

In terms of
callbacks to other movies, someone on Tumblr tied together Bruce saying that he was made to use the Infinity Stones with the scene in the first Avengers where Tony says that Bruce shouldn't have survived the gamma radiation, and maybe Hulk saved his life, and Bruce asks "Saved it for what?"
To which I can only offer an admiring
"Oh, fuck you guys" to the Endgame screenwriters.
Connie, for me it would take that long
to grow out my hair.
