Armistice doesn't sound like a long term solution. One strength of a firm is the ability to have specialists in different areas confer so that together the collective is stronger and deeper than any individual part. If you are the odd man out, it will not be long before the group will realize they could work together to get a buddy to take your spot. Do you have a cadre of attorney allies in the office who can cover for you if you are ill or double booked?

I believe I posted previously that the Owner, as part of his pitch to have me stay, assured me I would not have to work with either protege or co-counsel -

And you think that will last more than a few
weeks. After the owner is gone, which will
be sooner than later, you're screwed. I'm
just being realistic. You know I'm right.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

The entire firm is screwed after the Owner is gone as protege is not succeeding him and the firm will dissolve

Do I need to elaborate here? GET OUT! If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

GET OUT! Yes - but, if the Owner agrees to my counteroffer - I will stay until I find a soft landing place
