The one thing I see rarely mentioned is the DPRK's incredibly sized chemical and biological weapon stockpiles. I would think they are more of a threat than their nuclear weapons stockpile due to abundance of both quantity and delivery systems. And I would hazard to guess that would be the grouping of weaapons theey would turn to before finally going nuclear in the event of a conflict going poorly. Due to that always being an ever present possibility and detterent I am certain this is one of the main reasons they are so comfortable trading massive amounts of standard artillery and missiles to Russia.

chemical and biological weapons are mostly terror weapons - they're not better at causing casualties compared to conventional munitions or incendiaries but they cause much more suffering. there's exceptions like wuhan-chan but the strength of that was really that people didn't know that they were sick and spread it everywhere. for DPRK where they have closed borders to everyone, biological weapons aren't really a major issue.

Rockets and missiles even if old or inaccurate will still prove useful against urban and area targets and will help attrit UKR defenses. I don't see the DPRK contribution to be a game changer, but it will help RUS, and it should not be underestimated or minimized.

This is not a Russian doctrine but more of Iranian doctrine based more on terror and intimidation then real power. They rely on fixed artillery positions which do protect the pieces but don't protect the logistics to supply them. Also those don't have any flexibility. I.e. if opposing forces appear outside their limited field of fire they can't be fired upon. A little demonstration of the weakness of fixed positions with limited field of fire is what happened to Hamas. Hamas still has a vast arsenal of rockets but it can't use them on IDF forces in the strip as the direction can't be changed. It's reaching absurd situation that Hamas can bombard cities but can't do anything against IDF field HQs. The same will happen to NK, they can bombard Seoul but if the US uses amphibious capability they will not able to use their artillery to defend the capital.

If you have two evenly matched, stalemated forces (which you’ve basically had for a year now in Ukraine), every little bit of help matters. Getting millions of extra artillery shells from North Korea will matter, especially when enthusiasm for aid to Ukraine is dimming. The Iranian aid alone flipped the drone balance of terror on the front, despite Iran not being a great military power in most respects.

Shaded managed to hit a few civilian facilities, not flip the drone balance. Both sides seem to have pretty equal drone capability, with russia being slower to adopt it, but having a numbers advantage of larger, higher flying drones, while ukraine was quick to adopt smaller recon and strike drones, but lacks the signficant amount of longer ranged and larger drones russia has. Lancet was a more important advancement on the drone front than shaded.

In the Gulf war, a commentator on the BBC was hysterical about Iraqi casualties before destroyed on road back to Iraq, ceasefire now etc. Of course Bush did ceasefire and the Iraqi army escaped, no doubt the Kurds and Shia rebels who had risen against Saddam were overjoyed at this blatant betrayal and the subsequent massacres that resulted. In fact Hamas have done the same, launch the atrocity of 7 October and get the Marxists and Islamists in the West to call for a ceasefire.

Proxy wars are the best way to get experience and not affect DPRK directly. Case in point: Iran should ask Putin to let an Iranian Army division carry out missions for Russia and use a mix of Iranian and Russian weapons. The Iranian general in charge of his forces in Ukraine would meet with a Russian general specifically tasked with assigning missions to Iranian forces. The Iranian general and his field commanders take it from there. No reason why Kim shouldn't find this to be a great experience for his forces. Maybe put them on point and have them clear the path for Russian forces to approach and take Kiev.

A heavily monitored state of complete subservience, basically helot slave labor if you get on their bad side, dictatorial rule, and a very long mandatory military service with the military running the state. It would be horrific but also interesting if by using nukes as deterrence, they could send out hundreds of thousands of mercenaries to conflict zones nearing Russia and the Middle East. Basically like how they send out laborers, but mercenaries instead, and to see how much revenue it’d generate for N Korea since mercenary work probably pays a lot more than laborers. Could be a multimillion or even billion dollar industry in that case for N Korea.

On the other hand, a lot of the scenarios you've suggested - such as NK freely inserting SF via helicopter - presumes SK will allow it. That's a big 'if' from the world's 6th most powerful military. SK has an estimated 6000 missiles pointed at NK artillery sites along the border, and overwhelming superiority in the field of drones, satellite intel, and communications. At sea, SK holds all the cards, with NK's obsolete fleet separated into Eastern and Western commands while being hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned. In the air it's not really any brighter for NK either. All of this is before you take into account US and Japanese help in the immediate term, and likely more help from further afield in the medium to long term, whereas China would likely cut support if NK ever started a war in China's back yard.

Those capabilities are classified on both sides obviously, and again the hills would limit LOS for jamming. And actual ability through cyber to have any negligible impact on the battlefield cannot be known for certain (despite both sides would like to portray they have some superman ability). It seems the only real advantage NK has is manpower, but that only lasts so long.

If western countries continue to sit on their hands then sure. Otherwise no chance. Artillery is a decisive class of weapon only in environments where means to counter it are limited or absent. The western way of war deals with artillery with airpower and ground launched missiles, among other things. If we provided sufficient such means to neuter it, artillery would lose its prominence in this conflict and thus so would the contributions DPRK might make. And even if western countries continue failing to locate their balls, it must be said that DPRK does not have large amount of shells in the caliber used types by most Russian tube artillery, that being 152 mm.

So the disparity in artillery did not provide Russia a decisive advantage. Moreover, as with most platforms, it has narrowed. Shells fired for example are down to maybe 2:1 and parity during Ukrainian offensives. There's several reasons for this, e.g. poor Russian doctrine, training and morale, insufficient manpower, the destruction of ammo dumps with HIMARS, etc. Not sure what poll you have in mind. Most I've seen are c. 60% support, 30% don't support, 10% don't know. When info about Russian losses is provided alongside the question it rises to 65% support.

The artillery advantage did not narrow - Ukraine has far fewer systems now than at the start of the war and fires less now - by wide margin - than in the first month of the war. Russian gamble to encircle Kiev was due to 1:1 artillery parity - i.e. Russia did not have advantage. I use gallup poll. Well know. "41% of Americans say U.S. is doing too much to support Ukraine" "61% of Americans say the financial aid Ukraine receives from Washington should have limits" - so yes, by a landslide American public is saying that help should be limited and rather significant minority says its too much. Also gallup shows the trend is increasing - so by spring we may have more than 41% saying too much. Russian losses are UA losses divided by 3 or so, at least.
