1. When Galactus was reverted to his devourer form, it was noted by Rodstvow that Galactus would devour all time and space until all that would be left is the First Firmament, (though how long this would take was undefined).
"His hunger is now uncontained by mind or morality. Nor can it ever be sated. He will only siphon energy and life outside this reality. Slowly, at first... Imperceptibly. Then faster and faster, ALL time and space, spiraling away to the First Firmament... Leaving nothing behind."
When I read that, I felt like Ewing pulled it straight from the Black Celestial arc...
"A tremendous whirlpool devouring not only space, but time as well!"
"The Planet Eater has always been hungry. Now, he would become ravenous as his appetite increased geometrically... He would consume not only planets, but the entire universe!"
"The time will come soon when ALL the energy in the universe throughout its history will not be sufficient to feed him!"
But even when Galactus' hunger is bolstered FAR beyond it's 'normal' level(as is the case in BOTH of the above scenes), consuming a universe is still a task that would take him a LONG time -- so I'm glad you mentioned that in your post. 👆

3. Lifebringer Galactus is shown/implied to be far more powerful than devourer Galactus.
That being said, standard Galactus' power might actually be *better* to have in the current scenario, as all he'd have to do to get back to full-power+ is consume a gaggle of worlds/stars... He wouldn't have to hide within Owen's abandoned quasi-reality, in constant fear of being located before his power is restored, like Lifebringer is currently doing.
...So it's kind of a double-edged sword. /shrug
