As I recall Fry fell into the freezer doodle at about midnight in SP3000. Time sphere Fry and the rest started showing up at about 12:30 AM in BBS. After Fry fell into the tube at midnite there would be no reason for Nibbler to hang around Applied Cryogenics. If Nibbler had seen The Frys and Benders reappear at 12:30 AM then he would have known his attack and protests to Nudar about using the time sphere were pointless. And, probably most significantly, the pizza was intact when time sphere Fry found it. It's hard to imagine Nibbler being able to resist the smell of pizza for a half hour.

The pizza is only relevant to Nibbler's presence after midnight not the fate of the universe. Again Nibbler appears not to have any foreknowledge of the time code on Fry's butt which he would have known if he still was at AC when Fry reappeared. Nibbler in 2008 is only aware of a Level 87 emergency is going to happen (87:1 also being HO scale in model railroading - it the best scale).

But 2000 Nibbler knew nothing of Nudar. And, since the time sphere is paradox-free, 3007 Nibbler would know nothing of his own meeting with the Frys and Benders.

Nope. The time sphere only eliminates the paradox not the memory of it by others. Otherwise the Professor would not have even checked for the paradox-correction of the Time Sphere since neither he or anyone else would have a memory of witnessing a duplicate or it's correction.

My theory is that the time sphere causes a "bypass" from the points of time travel, both to and from. Thus, when the duplicate comes to the point of "from" (the present) the duplicate is doomed. Likewise, the "from" people have no recollection of the "bypass" events because they had gone through the "business route" (regular time). (Yes, I'm comparing time travel to a highway.) In this way, the 3007 selves would know nothing of the alternate past because they had lived through the "business route" rather than the "bypass" created by the time sphere.
For example, Lars would continue to live on the "bypass" and, upon meeting up with the "business route", would be doomed. To explain the tear in the universe, the massive new bypass created by Bender meeting all the other Benders caused a collapse where the bypass and business routes meet, tearing the fabric of space-time and, thus, the universe. Yivo was just there for the ride.
