If China does invade it won't be like Ukraine. It will be done in a day while the United States still has its dick in its hand. There will not be an option for it to be a proxy war, and it would be purely offensive on the part of the United States.
If it's inevitable, which I think it is only if America insists on disrupting the status quo, then fast and decisive is much better than slow and grindy.
During the reunification wars of China in the early 20th century a warlord had a field full of metal spikes surrounding his castle. The attacking army charged through the field and ran on top of their comrades.
During the Korean war the generals used human waves to take over bases. Eventually the machine guns overheated and the base was taken. Imagine piles of bodies used as trenches.
If mainland China attacks Taiwan there won't be anyone left. The people in Taiwan are well aware of this and post the darkest memes.

That level of brutality would not be necessary because of the extreme asymmetry between the two sides.
