Not sure if this has been posted but the post Made in Heaven universe is unrelated to SBR. This was hinted at when Araki said that DiU and JJL are parallel worlds (not linked in space in time).

Also, if we recall what happens to those still alive when the universe resets, they stay alive where as those who are dead are replaced.

Unless Giorno were to die between the end of Part 5 and the end of Part 6, he would still be alive post-SO, but he (as well as other living Joestars) do not exist in the SBR universe.
