But there’s also the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry. Observations strongly indicate that right now we have a lot more electrons than positrons. If it was just one electron going back and forth in time (and occasionally being a photon), we’d expect at most one extra electron.
Not to mention the fact that positrons = electrons going backwards in time only works if you ignore gravity.
