The precedent that would be set here is that state governments, not the electorate, can decide who is allowed to run in elections.

Conservative states can ban Democrats, progressive states can ban Republicans, for no other reason than “because”.

That won't be the outcome in any case, I don't believe. If SCOTUS goes deeply into what an insurrection is for the purpose of the 14A, they're going to establish a rule or benchmark for determining it. Section 3 is pretty narrow in scope as far as disqualifying actions.
