Scenario: Vegeta destroys Goku's body while Ginyu still has it, before Goku can switch back. Gohan gets mad and
kills Vegeta. Still mad, he follows Freeza's chi, interrupts his fight against Nail and kills Freeza too with his 1m+
rage before Freeza can transform. For the sake of this scenario, suppose that it turns out Goku being given his
body back is beyond dragonballs' capabilities.

The group get their wishes and head back to Earth. 4 years later, everyone except Gohan is killed by #17 and #18. With Trunks not being around, Gohan has to act far more cautious when being the last hope for humanity and doesn't get himself killed, travelling back to the past. Knowing Goku won't be able to reach his full potential in Ginyu's body, he goes about training his past self to be the main hope for the Z-Warriors, staying in the past for about a year to train with past Gohan, Goku and Piccolo. In doing so, he'd teach that Gohan how to become a Super Saiyan.

2 years later, #19 and #20 arrive. Being the strongest of the group, Gohan takes on #19 and destroys him. Gero flees as in canon and activates #17 and #18. They defeat the Z-Warriors and kill Goku. Even if Gohan gets a large rage boost, it wouldn't be enough to take down the combined power of #16, #17 and #18. The Artificial Humans don't want to kill anyone else, however, so they let the group live and leave. Piccolo goes to fuse with Kami as in canon, though would be significantly weaker without fusing with Nail, let's say about as strong as his canon pre-Kami self. When Cell shows up, Piccolo and both Gohans have to confront him as a team, with Cell escaping with the Taiyoken.
Out of options, Piccolo would then remember the Rosat and see it as the only option. Both Gohans would go in there whilst Piccolo continues to observe things below. With no battle occurring, Cell is unable to find #17 and #18, yet is allowed to continue absorbing people without resistance. We'll say that with Future Gohan's mindset being a lot more experienced and akin to his father's, he goes about mastering Super Saiyan as Goku did. Once the two emerge, they'd raise their Ki in base to lure Cell out before transforming and quickly killing him. After some time, it's deemed that the present #17 and #18 can be left alone due to neither being a threat in power or personality anymore, with Future Gohan going back to his own timeline. Afterwards, Piccolo contacts Kaio to see if he can search out New Namek, with a group heading there and back to revive Goku.

With Goku still around and Gohan somewhat inspired by his future self, he doesn't slack off in his training. He kills Dabura 7 years later and Boo isn't revived. When Beerus shows up, the lack of Goten, Trunks, Vegeta or a Saiyan Goku would mean no Super Saiyan God, so Beerus leaves Earth disappointed after enjoying the food at the party. When Freeza is revived, Majin Boo not being killed and him being killed without using his full power would mean he'd have no reason to train when assaulting Earth, so he gets easily killed along with the Freeza Force. The Universe 6 and 7 tournament happens in which any of Universe 6's fighters solos due to how severely weaker the cast are without SSG happening. Zamasu Arc doesn't happen at all, nor does the Tournament of Power or the Broly Arc. Moro goes unstopped when he escapes and succeeds in whatever his end goal is.

1. What happens with Goku's marriage? Does Chichi accept him as he is?
2. How do the androids recognize Goku in Ginyu's body in order to kill him?
3. I think Piccolo is weaker than his Pre Kami self without Nail, because his fusion with Nail wasn't merely a 2x boost. I don't even think he'd have ever surpassed Base Saiyans without Nail's addition resetting his potential.
4. Why does Goku have the wrong body even after his death? Actually, I wondered whether he would ask someone to kill him and then be revived in order to get his body back.

If she already accepted his personality despite it being far from husband or father material, I don't see why not.

2. How do the androids recognize Goku in Ginyu's body in order to kill him?
One of the Z-Warriors would let it slip either in front of Gero who would relay it to #17/18 or the twins themselves. Goku may be the one to actually do this, considering his personality.

3. I think Piccolo is weaker than his Pre Kami self without Nail, because his fusion with Nail wasn't merely a 2x boost. I don't even think he'd have ever surpassed Base Saiyans without Nail's addition resetting his potential.
Plot dictates numbers, not the other way around, and it has no effect either way.

If switching bodies in life was beyond the Dragon Balls' power, I'd assume it'd remain the same after revival. For what it's worth, GT shows Ginyu in the body he had on Namek despite it not being his original body based on Jheese's implications and a video game pamphlet confirming such, it can be assumed the soul becomes attuned to a body if staying in it long enough.
In either case, Goku getting a Saiyan body would wouldn't change much as its 900k peak with Kaioken x10 would make it too weak to do much even after a lot of training and would still be lacking the necessary members for the SSG ritual.
