Would it be reasonable to say that a Rufus King
that won would be so different from our time line
that it would be difficult to speculate about him?

Could the Federalists have survived?

Could anything be inferred about an alternate time
line where Rufus King became president?

The most likely scenario for this would be disaster for the
US in the War of 1812, with the US forced to cede the entire
Northwest Territory to Britain as a reserve for its Indian
allies, Louisiana ceded to Britain as a colony, and Madison
captured by the British during their raid on Washington.

That might make the public so disgusted with the Republicans
that King could win.

With a peace settlement that disastrous for the US, would America even
be allowed to vote for President?

Why not?

After all, does a Great Power really care what the rabble do?

How long until the various states start seeing if they can
individually cut a deal with Britain?
