The Soviets would have attacked, and given their strenghth probably would have punched a hole anywhere they chose.
Of course the Wermacht would have patched up the hole, only for it to happen somewhere else. They may have been drawn into a similar battle of Attrition or maybe another "Stalingrad" and suffered heavier losses.
And maybe Sicily would have drawn off the SS Corps and maybe other available reserves sooner.
