If we’d stayed out of the war until one side won, maybe WWII would have been the US-Japan conflict.

Unlikely. The militarists in Japan put too much credence in our inability to fight a two-front war. I think they had few illusions about what a head-to-head struggle with the US would have meant.
But there might have been an Anglo-Japanese War...
