If China went democratic then Taiwan wouldn't have much issue with becoming part of it, right?

Once people taste freedom they tend to not want to give it up, no matter how messy.

There is a strong Taiwanese identity among younger people, and that's one of the reasons why the DPP is so popular right now. Older generations and KMT supporters may favor reunification, but that's a sentiment fading away.

So, no, I don't think Taiwanese would agree to become Chinese.

Obviously they would. If China was democratic they would probably elect a more repressive and economically left wing government. At least that's until the private sector buys enough political influence.

Democracy != Liberal democracy.
