The embattled regime could employ a scorched earth policy and will launch all the weapons they've got, resulting in millions of civilian deaths. That seems worse to me.

It's not like Saddam Hussein or the Taliban, or even Putin's Russia.

If it wasn't for that Korea could be reunited and it will probably end up fairly well, similar to how the reunification of Germany ended up well.

The economic, industrial, agricultural, social, technological and cultural differences between north and south Korea are far, far greater than between east and west Germany.

Germany still has east-west integration problems.

Almost every country has regional differences; for a variety of reasons. "Integration problems" is overstating the issue IMO.
