In short, if the US becomes insolvent, the rest of the world will largely ignore what happens in the (at that point) 8th economy in the world, and mostly try to untie their economy from it.

I believe this is wrong? USA is the largest oil producer in the world, and also one of the 5 largest oil exporters.
That is already happening.
The rest of the world is finding the likes of China to be more stable and predictable trading partners than the USA.
Just consult Google. All a country has to do to find itself on the receiving end of punishing Chinese trade actions is being mildly critical of China in the wrong way, and next thing they know their exporters to China report being held up for months. The EU has taken offense at how China kicks around smaller EU members, Australia has been on the receiving end of it more than once.
If you'd said the EU might be seen as a relatively more stable trading partner, that may be true, the EU does seem to be fairly happy deindustrializing itself. Though it's fueling a rise in the fractured politics there too.
If Donald Trump feels personally slighted by a country, he will put massive tariffs on them or threaten to invade them. At least China doesn't have an erratic mad king.
LOL!
