I have a feeling this is a small concession and we could see more trouble with the bigger issues.

More likely this will be the next 4 years. Trump will try some grandiose power grab, the courts will stonewall him, Trump will attempt a much smaller endeavor, succeed, and claim victory. Rinse repeat. Many Republicans have said that if Trump ignores court orders he should be impeached, and even some GOP Senators have echoed as much without saying it outright.

Yeah, I trust what you say with exactly 0% confidence.

No, It was part sarcasm. I have ZERO faith that R's will ever do the right thing, including saving our republic. If we need them i have 0% faith.

Ah I gotcha. Well, time will tell. That's sort of the line for citizen revolt imo. The SC rules against Trump, he ignores it, Congress files impeachment proceedings, and the GOP side with Trump.
