The Magyars are a pretty pragmatic lot. They won't break with Austria unless the grass looks distinctly greener elsewhere. Will they really abandon an equal (or even somewhat more than equal) partnership with Austria for one with a vastly expanded Germany which outnumbers them more than four to one in population and even more economically? It would also mean having to pay for a separate Hungarian army, instead of the KuK army which is disproportionally paid for by Austria. If things are in as big an economic mess as they probably are, that may be a serious deterrent.
There may well be a "Northern Ireland Problem" in the Serb districts of Bosnia, but unless you envisage Serbs and Croats acting in unison (<g>) that ought to be manageable. And as already noted, the Czechs and Poles have nowhere to go except into Germany's arms. So what's left?
As for Germany, she certainly won't just shrug her shoulders and let things take their course. She can't afford to given that A/H screens her southern boder. She may intervene to prop it up or to partition it, but intervene she will.
