I'm not saying that conflict couldn't happen. It could, there are a lot of years pre-first war where we simply don't know what's happening to the various nations of Azeroth, but I still don't think that a war that recent between Genn and Terenas would have resulted in Gilneas joining the Alliance of Lordaeron.

Why would he? He could have turned on the other nations like Alterac did, and unlike Alterac, he not only have a good reason to turn against Lordaeron, but wouldn't be stuck between several former allies once they discovered what he'd done. He would have been able to defend his lands, given how well defensible Gilneas was at that time.

As for the HotS stuff, I'm going to counter that dubious canon by saying that the Genn in HotS is at the very least post-Cata Genn, meaning he's joined the Alliance again. That means he's already seen several wars including the Second War, the Northgate Rebellion, the Third War (the Scourge did attack the Greymane Wall, they just never breached it), the War against the Worgen (which resulted directly after the Scourge assault on the Greymane Wall due to Archmage Arugal summoning the beasts) and the War against the Forsaken.

We can even add a few more bonus wars in there if we include the conflicts that happened after Gilneas rejoined the Alliance, such as the conflict with the Naga in Vash'jir, the growing escalating conflicts with the Horde, and if we include the events of Mists of Pandaria, we can even add the Siege of Orgrimmar to the Wars that he's witnessed over the years.
