I think you're consoling yourself into thinking that Brexit is a win-lose situation. Everyone loses, particularly the UK and Ireland. But Ireland facing significant financial impact as a result of no-deal doesn't mean that it can compel the UK to change its negotiating position. I acknowledge that Ireland usually punches above its weight diplomatically. But making BoJo chose Ireland over the ERG is a big ask. Ireland can influence the EU side and am sure it's doing its best here.
