Steve, I respectfully disagree, even while knowing that I have often been wrong when attempting to predict (about the future, which is difficult, as Yogi Berra acknowledged).
Given the astounding decision and opinion on immunity, and the horror that Democrats expect if Trump is elected, I do not think there would be 18 Dem Senators who would vote to convict in a trial of impeachment.
Given his new powers, if he should lose on November 3rd, Biden could do as Trump would do and declare an emergency. We can reasonably believe that Trump would do so, so those opposing him ought not feel bound by rules that he has shown - by creating an insurrection - he will break. It's crazy, but no one ought to refuse to accept the reality that the Supremes have created - if Trump is elected he will do whatever he wants, including refusing to leave office when his term ends. During his term in office he will also destroy the separation of powers, and thereby what we know as our democratic republic. He has promised to do that by stating that he will be a dictator on Day 1.

Biden and the Dems had better not wait. Start going after their opponents now. Start now to operate under the new rules.
