[MCU] Did Thanos doom us all with the stones?

During Endgame the heroes go into the past to collect different infinity stones after Thanos had destroyed theirs. During this trip, Bruce talks to the ancient one when trying to get the time stone. She tells him the stones protect their universe from destruction and removing them would doom their timeline. By destroying the infinity stones after completing his goal, did Thanos doom the main universe in the same way as the warning given to Bruce?

The stones weren't really destroyed - they were atomized, their essences spread. There's nothing saying they couldn't reform later - in fact, the comic stones have been destroyed and remade several times over.

This is different from what the Ancient One was warning about, complete removal of the stones from the universe. Had they not returned the Time Stone, for example, Stephen Strange would never have been able to stop Dormammu from bringing the Earth into the Dark Dimension.
