It's a bit difficult to explain the effects of the end of Bayonetta, primarily because anything involving alternate timelines and time travel is difficult to explain. Because of the way the changes to the past are presented at the end of the game, it can be assumed that both Bayonetta and Jeanne were able to survive the Witch Hunts by fighting their way out together, especially since the game previously showed that Jeanne had managed to do the same on her own in the original timeline.

The main reason Jeanne tried to seal Bayonetta away in the first place was to protect her from the angelic forces after she lost the will to fight when Rosa died. That's the reason the sealing protected her in the original timeline. However, in the new timeline, Bayonetta's survivial is thanks to her younger self realising her strength ("There's nothing I cannot do"), coupled with the fact the sealing failed. Bayonetta never lost that fighting spirit and was able to aid Jeanne in battle, eventually surviving until the present.
