(In fairness I also believe that the US Army would fail in an amphibious invasion of Taiwan)

I saw some discussion in the press saying that if we leave Afghanistan, China might fill the "power vacuum", as if getting that government to burn trillions of dollars on futile empire-building instead of ours was a bad outcome.

I mean, we have a way longer history of getting our asses handed in Nam Viet than Taiwan being an integral part of our territory.

Taiwan is an integral part of a lot of irredentist bullshit, not anyone's territory. My point about Vietnam is if you can't invade your small neighbor over a land border, you're going to have a bad time trying to do it over a rough stretch of ocean.
