What's the best-case scenario here anyway? A long fight between the armed forces in Russia whilst Ukraine push on? I suspect we don't want Wagner anywhere near the Kremlin either.
Twitter chatter has them crossing from occupied Ukraine into Rostov on Don which is at the far east of the Sea of Azov. That’s 670 miles south of Moscow, so they’re not going to be there for breakfast at the Kremlin, but with a number of Russian Telegram channels suggesting the border guards just let them walk back into Russia, despite being ordered to seal the border, it’s possible they could move more freely through the country than you might think. Also remember how easily Ukraine-backed Russian nationalists have been able to maraud around Belgorod region - Russia’s regular military forces are really not in a good shape right now.
