does this sound like a guy unwilling to break democracy?

There's a lot of category confusion w people not thinking critically here. "Wouldn't publicly shitpost memes all day, skitter around like broken-wheeled bike" or "be better at Formally President-ing" can get wrongly conflated with "would be better all-around" or "less bad for liberal democracy."

"Doesn't have the juice" is the reason he'd be less bad all around.

I think that’s true! But I worry that the mysterious charisma juice is what lets Trump get elected, and Vance won’t need that part for the next three years.

Republicans won't be intimidated by Vance. The whole thing is held together by the charisma juice.

I hope so, but I kinda worry that 'MAGA Project' and its most vocal advocates (and the base voters themselves) have become self-reinforcing enough that the administration and its Congressional enablers would be able to hold together and govern according to their lights (yikes!) for a couple years.
