It is deadly serious also to the republicans which is why unification will happen much sooner than later.
The DUP are indeed a backward looking group of idiots, imo.
They are not insignificant. Why? Because they win elections in Northern Ireland. Did you know they win elections in Northern Ireland? Why do you think that is?
Is it because they are horrible socially conservative tosspots? Well, for some voters, probably. But that's not why they are elected by the unionist majority. It's because they are ... a) unionists and b) the unionist party with the largest vote, and so attract the unionist vote. Circular, but true.
Your idea about the republicans are "serious", but the unionists are "insignificant" is barmy. The fact is unification will happen IF there is a majority in favour of it in Northern Ireland, and the DUP stopped being elected on their unionist manifesto. It may happen but it wont be anytime soon.
