I think on of the big differences for the books from killing Arthur would be more of a presence from the Bill and Charlie from that point, if nothing else, because the already poor family would have lost their only source of income. With out Arthur in the picture, I would think all the of age Weasley boys would feel obligated to come back and help support Molly and the younger children, which might actually have had the consequence of both bringing the family close together than they already are, and ameliorating some of their financial issues since they would now have three possibly four (from Percy) incomes.
The other way I would see it going, is the Order essentially taking in the Weasleys. Making Molly almost a full time Mother/Housekeeper an Headquarters, which would allow Harry to contribute as well as more fully integrate into the family as they would be around all the time, but in his house so the guest barrier (of his visits to the burrow) would no longer be there.
