If you were making the argument that the universal rate of expansion isn't necessarily static, I'd perhaps agree with you (there is evidence this functioned differently in the early universe). The 2nd law of thermodynamics on the other hand, which is what will lead to universal heat death, is extremely unlikely to be variable.
Without the 2nd law of thermodynamics, the universe would be so radically different that it would be effectively an entirely new universe at that point.
