In the hypothetical situation where Tokyo needed to be evacuated, or a large enough portion of the population there feared for their health and wanted to leave, i wonder if in the long term, the redistribution of population back into regional Japan would not be a good thing over all.

In the long term, everything is a good thing over all because humans adapt to make it that way
Yes. Like when you’re driving using a GPS map. You can’t look at the map and see if you’ve made the wrong turn, because it always recalculates the route and determines the currently correct path to your destination, and shows you as being on that path. (The only exception is when it tells you to make a U-turn.)
At the risk of being glib, of course not?
People have a hard on for regional areas, but the practical reality is people enjoy the benefits of living in cities too much to want to live in rural areas. They are also way worse at actually providing for the needs of those people efficiently.
