I tend to think and hope the chances of armed conflict are still probably pretty low, but I totally agree that actions increasing the chance of conflict and needless suffering are not a positive regardless of whether that suffering is via armed conflict or economic measures. This congressional visit itself isn't really a big deal, but the Pelosi one was and following up with this is just continuing to stir the pot in a way that doesn't seem to serve anyone's interests but the Americans in their projection of power in the region, and the people who clearly have the most to lose are the Taiwanese.
