What for? The constitution we have now isn’t followed, what makes you think a new one would be any different?

Some things cannot be ignored. If the 17th amendment is repealed and the state appoints a new Senator, the current sitting Senator cannot refuse to vacate.

To date, I can't think of any elected official who refused to follow the results of a Constitutional election. The closest was when Harry Reid dragged his feet when seating Scott Brown in Massachusetts.

If we want to talk about a coup, let's see a replaced Senator refuse to leave his office.
