It may have taken longer but I really do think that the outcome would ultimately have been the same, based on doctrinal issues.

At my church 25% of our congregation are former RC's. In the end most say it was the teaching of a different gospel that got them to leave.

FWIW, I won't go to any Protestant church which teaches doctrine contrary to the clear teaching of Scripture,...

I agree, that's why so many older Evangelical Churches are losing members or having congregations split off into different factions. Christians will not stay where heresy is taught. Look at your own experience, as you began to realize that the RCC teaches a different gospel and it's doctrines were not consistent with Scripture you ultimately felt compelled to leave.
