so far as i know all this drama is to activate SegWit and it seems like SegWit2x is going to do it and be compatible with SegWit that was first supposed to be activated.
with that said it has 75.7% support so far in the last <24 hours according to
https://coin.dance/blocks and all the things you said are only going to happen in case of a split and from what i am seeing with a high hashrate aka majority support no split would happen. and remember than there is a lot of the hashrate from smaller miners who have not yet signaled, they may be waiting to just join in with the majority.
