I think that FDR was too prone to appease Stalin for any great hope on a better outcome.
FDR also favored dismemberment of Germany into several smaller states. He had acceded to Stalin’s desires on Polish territories and the pre German invasion Soviet Borders by 1942 or 43 without bothering to tell Churchill.
He also expected to withdraw US forces from Europe within two years of victory.
I am sure you can guess how that may have played out. That seems to me as setting the wolf to watch the sheep.

Have a go.
Truman mistrusted the Soviets. He was not likely to give in as easy in some regards.
With FDR I wonder more how much worse it would have been.
