I don’t think that, practically, countries have often gone from authoritarian to democratic without violence.

Ahem. South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan. They were authoritarian before they were democratic.

All the examples you gave are of small countries with largely the same ethnic group. China also is largely Han Chinese but the region is pretty big so it would have differences. Also, areas like Tibet or where Uighurs live will want out.
