Even if Caesar dies the battle of Hoover Dam happens with Lanius leading.
Did you even finish the game?

Granted, the game accounts for this because the game still needs to happen, but you're introducing the hypothetical removal of the Courier as a factor, which causes all sorts of unforeseen consequences. At the very least the Courier is a major accelerating factor for the 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam, so it's safe to assume that things would move on a slower timeframe without their involvement. It's stated more than once that Lanius loves Caesar but hates his Legion, so if Caesar dies or becomes incapable of leading before the Legion is ready to mount their offensive, it's no guarantee that Lanius would be able to lead effectively or even be motivated to lead without Caesar's guidance.
