Stevie clearly thinks he regrets joining in the first place, though. So who's to say.

That's the thing. The emotional ties and the sort of mending of fences and uniting with FM again as a way of healing old wounds is why he did and does go back. It allows them to relive old glories and despite the drama, I think they all still enjoy it and each other at the end of the day.
I don't think all of that would have necessarily been different if OOTC had been a huge success. Lindsey was able to go back to FM because of how he perceived the others had changed. I think he would have still let Stevie twist his arm on the Clinton deal and she probably would have coerced him into doing The Dance too, if OOTC had succeeded. It may have been him helping them out by that point, instead of what they claimed was a way to boost his solo visibility, but he would have done it.
