. . . Any hard border within Ireland puts that goal back decades or more, whereas a border in the sea makes unification far more likely. Which the government as a whole would prefer is uncertain, but the position of the DUP is clear enough. So it is very much in line with Sinn Fein's long term goal to stop DUP having the decisive votes on this matter.

You may well be right, and I won't argue the point.
I would point out that the opposite could also be true. A 'hard' land border imposed now could mean that they have to start pushing for reunification straight away, while a 'soft' (or sea) border could mean that the subject (while made easier) could be deferred.

Cheers
