In his first term, I actually did think Pence would've made a more scary president since their horrible policies would be treated as business as usual again with a "nice" face on them. But I think BBB is proof it doesn't really matter at this point. Plus Trump has an amount of unchecked power he didn't have in his first term. Vance at least might cut down on the dictator overtures. I'm sure they wouldn't close the new concentration camps or stop disappearing people with ICE, but maybe at least whatever shit Trump can cook up in the future wouldn't happen. But yeah, probably no apology or going back from what was already started.
In hindsight Pence would've been an improvement because he's proven he at least is loyal to the constitution and was willing to push back against Trump when he tried to overturn the election results. Meanwhile Vance out there supporting literal Nazi candidates in Europe so he would at best be a lateral move from Trump. Possibly worse.
