6. Many Republicans are clearly terrified of having to take that vote

Depending on how many Republicans vote for it (media reports say 100 or more could), I would not rule out it overcoming the filibuster and passing the Senate. I think the bigger obstruction is Thune can largely just ignore it and refuse to bring it up for a vote. At some point, though if more information continues to come out, the pressure may become too much for Thune and the Republicans in the Senate to ignore.
