They would have very little reason to invade taiwan at that point. So they probably wouldn’t.

Not about actually needing a reason to invade, it's about the implication

i guess but even then it would still have massive political implications, including the US, which is incredibly messy. And taiwan itself wouldn't be very happy about it.

Extrinsic factors are the most important ones for this kind of stuff, it's why the vietnam war failed for us.
