Not sure, Mussolini started to consider Hitler a possible ally only after he burned his bridges with London and Paris. If he never burn those bridges, because for some reason he doesn't feel like invading Ethiopia, no he would not allow Hitler annex a nation that he has some influence over (Austria).

thought they actually drew closer during their shared efforts in Spanish Civil War? although German support for Italian invasion of Ethiopia certainly began the process?

there was long thread about Italian invasion of Yugoslavia https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-earlier-italian-invasion-of-yugoslavia.447624/ that seems most likely Italian target.

Italy might be unable to add another conflict, so Anschluss by default?
