Have to wonder had she told them earlier, how that may have altered the show, like how long did she hide it from them? presumably she would only be able to hide it for a few weeks to a couple of months before she began showing, depending on how far along she was when she found out, but you never know how/when that was in the process, like had she told them asap could Joss have decided fuck it we'll postpone the storyline till S5 we can have Cordy as a higher power guiding Angel through the series so we don't need to worry about her being pregnant, which if they did that just what would the big bad have been?

Personally I was never the biggest Cordy fan but I hated her performance in S4 specifically her being evil I just thought was god fucking awful all around, so I doubt I would have liked it even if Joss got to do it entirely as he wanted but yah never know.

It's hard to say; I think Joss' plans had been in the works for a couple of seasons, so things like Cordy ascending at the end of season 3 played into that somehow. Some anecdotes I've read suggested that it may have been less a malevolent entity taking Cordelia over, like how it ultimately played out; and more being Cordelia herself, and for some reason she went bad or something. Maybe she would have become corrupted by power or something.
I grew disenchanted with Cordelia about midway through season 3, mainly when they started pushing the crap of her and Angel falling in love. I hated that story; and if there's one good thing to come out of the cluster fuck of season 4, it's that it put the kibosh on that.
Plus, it didn't make a ton of sense for Cordelia to need to become part demon in order to stem the pain caused by the visions, since Doyle was part demon and they were painful for him. I mean, it stands to reason that it was part of Jasmine's plot to take her over, etc., but seeing how, when they introduced the idea, they had planned to go in a different direction, it doesn't make sense. And they made what it meant for her to be "part demon" nonsensical and her powers completely inconsistent and arbitrary.
