Is it possible that Trump might simply refuse to participate in any debates this year, if he faces a stronger opponent? Just run his campaign from the cocoon of rallies?

I did not know that about Nixon

That wasn’t just about Nixon though: LBJ refused debates in 1964, Nixon did in 1968 and 1972, after the famous 1960 JFK-Nixon one there were no televised presidential debates (only at the primary level) until 1976, after which they became customary.

But they didn't have debates in 68 or 64 either. Precedent hadn't been established yet.
