I mean, as far as time travel goes it's a pretty good solution. They never did recover Gert's body originally, so they still thought she was dead until now. And as long as they all thought she was dead all these years, the timeline won't change. So Gert gets saved while the timeline remains intact.

They did recover her body, they buried her behind the Hollywood sign

I meant in the new timeline. Now they presumably figured her body was buried in the wreck of the burnt building, and were unable to stick around to retrieve it without garnering too much attention from the authorities. As long as they still think Gert is dead, the timeline remains unchanged enough to prevent paradox.

Seeing her body and burying it probably helped them accept that she was dead. Leaving her body in the wreckage of a building, to be eventually found and taken by the authorities would just lead to them infiltrating the morgue to retrieve it. If they never found her body that would just leave too many open ended questions.

Plus how would they get Geoffrey Wilder out of that building alive if they couldn't get Gert's body out?

Agreed. It's a pretty smooth solution.
