Since I am only a yank with an interest!

But I would say that NI is a matter of time. Joining the Republic seems inevitable given demographics. I have seen that support for a unified Ireland has grown in the Republic since Brexit. In an aside, it is incredible that the Brexit idiots just side stepped the Good Friday accords.Why would anyone want to open up those wounds?

As to Wales I did see the 10% number. If Brexit turns into an economic disaster, I would think young people would pull for independence. We here have had our full of “economic anxiety voters”.
Brexit seems tailor made for economic anxiety and that brings a desire to upend the government structure. But Welsh independence does seem like a long shot.
