I think you have it backwards. The second he is no longer aligned with their agenda, they will clutch their pearls, blow up one of the existing scandals, and away we go.

That too, but I think a big enough scandal will be used regardless of alignment. Pence isn't unpredictable.

Trump won the Presidency, and his impeachment by Paul Ryan et al would tear the Republican Party asunder. Impeachment has to be an option of last resort for them. There's absolutely no guarantee that they'll be able to maintain their majority in the House after that. There's indirect evidence of this in how Republicans treated Trump in the run-up to November.

There's also no indication that they'd be able to get enough Democratic support for it.

I would hope so, because frankly Trump is such a loon that I would rather Mike "electrocute the gay away" Pence, but...

Sigh.
