To answer OP - yes; the trouble would be immeasurable, I have not read the link.. Because - can I ask if anyone else is finding it impossible to read links to the Express? For the last week I've never got past a headline, both here and on facebook. I gave it a good 4 mins. to allow it all to load this time, but still no cursor -nothing. :(
There isn’t really any effect on Ireland now that would result in a United Ireland.
But if Brexit goes badly, and prosperity does not follow, then, the clamour for the advantage of NI returning to the EU, may make leaving the UK seem a good option for all Northern Irish, irrespective of religion.
It might be a quicker fix for NI to unify rather than waiting 15 years for the UK to rejoin the EU.
The economy of the next 5 years will be crucial whether the UK breaks up or not. We prosper, an the UK remains intact. If we do badly out of brexit then anything can happen. We will have to watch and hold our breaths.

The point about Brexit leading to a United (rather than “reunited” as Ireland has never been a united self governing entity) Ireland is more that the terms of the withdrawal agreement - and beyond - inevitably draw N Iran’s economically closer to the republic. Added to the fact that the republic is now viewed less as the priest-ridden potato republic it once was by Ulster Protestants due to social reforms.
I very much doubt there’d be major unrest in N Ireland and there is record theoretical support in the republic for unification.
But it would still be a pity IMO for an increasingly Brexit obsessed Westminster simply to fiddle while the various parts of the UK break away

I think it can safely be assumed that if the government pursues its current course then the UK will shrink appreciably in the coming few years.
Dominic Raab of course, very ironically, has talked up the advantages to N Ireland of having the “best of both worlds”
An advantage which oddly is to be denied to the rest of the UK
