So long as Taiwan can slow or even halt China getting a foothold on the island, their chances of winning a war is drastically improved.
China can always 'win' going scorched earth but 2 main reasons why that's highly unlikely:
They lose all resources, manufacturing facilities and skilled personnel from Taiwan making it just a costly war
They send the message there is no point negotiating and no mercy given which means any future conflict, people will fight to the death knowing if they're going to die anyway, may as well kill as many Chinese as possible with them.
These kind of guided drones might be HIGHLY effective against ships like battleships and landing craft which combined with effective Anti-air would turn that island into a grave for China's ambitions.
Chyna just have to missile the power plants, taiwan will be surrendering within days. It might be the shortest war with the least amount of people dead ever. Taiwan has no will to fight, nobody is going to send troops to defend Taiwan, they're not Israel.
That is why Taiwan is developing drones, if their power plants are destroyed in a military strike that is a declaration of war and they can use their drones to destroy power plants in mainland China in return. Drones are offensive weapons, this is a message to China that they can strike them too, they won´t be stupid enough to start the war though.
destroying the power plants would come after Taiwan declares independence, which Chyna considers declaration of war. Chyna is not going to attack Taiwan first and Taiwan isn't going to strike at Chyna first or be dumb enough to declare independence. if US actually wants Taiwan to have strike capabilites with drones, US would've sold them the drone system that is already well developed and been bombing sand niggers for decades, which Chyna probably already have counter measures for after decades of tech theft and leaks, nothing Taiwan developed independently this late into the game will be able to even get pass Chyna's own defenses
