“Those Unionists not willing to stay will pick up and move long before the handing over. Most unionist hotheads with murder on their mind will also decide to leave because they know they will have backing from no nation or major power on earth to conduct any major terrorist campaigns.”

Which is why it will never happen, they will never leave. They’ve lived through centuries of conflict and will no sooner leave than the people on the Republican side left when NI was formed. No state is going to have the political will to force them out either.

Ireland will be reunited. The unionists will have to make their choice one way or another.

The difference is that Ireland will be reunited. Unionists will have to then choose.

“No state is going to have the political will to force them out either.”

I am not so sure about that. Israel forces its citizens to move out of settlements. The unionists will have very few choices.
