I'd figure that stationing or reinforcing ROC forces with allied troops amidst a PLAN blockade, when there's a literal war going on and threatening to down PLA interceptors would provoke a very justified PLARF IRBM spam.

China has been playing a significant amount of saber rattling for the past few years and theres no sign of them backing down. What military can support 24/7 deployment of fighters, AEW and ships on defense covering an area the size of the 1IC?

And the PLARF has already demonstrated the ability to assemble and fire 300mm cross-strait capable MLRS on hour-long drills before so I certainly dont doubt that they could pull off a quick TBM strikes on Taipei covering J-20s and YJ-21 strikes on allied airbases in the West Pacific. The latter is an extremely dangerous op that requires meticulous planning and execution but a total wide scale confusion across INDOPACOM on ROC, RAAF, JSDF and Guam all at once would be damning to say the least.
