I personally think they should do it so when they lose their majority Dems can just ram things through

Gotta remember that republicans are held to a lower standard. If they were to use the nuclear option, Trump would be hailed a hero that got things moving again. If democrats do it, they’d be ridiculed as tyrants

Once the nuclear option is taken, there’s not really any going back, that’s what a lot of old guard republicans realize and why they will never allow removing the filibuster, the newer ones are dumb enough to go for it though
