I would agree to your general sentiment, but I think, the Taiwanese themselves are not that confident in their own armed forces.
I'm not convinced of PLA capabilities either (haven't seen much fighting except for a brawl with unfair advantage in the Himalayas), but in a few years they may have enough of a technological/logistical advantage that they might be successful. That's why I think it would be good for Taiwan if emperor Xi & his generals become a bit over-confident & try early.
