Well, I as a virtual citizen of Austro- Hungary, somohow don't think that Germany would allow of breakup of its most faithful ally- Austro- Hungary.
They most probably would pressed the Hungarians to renew Ausgleich or else...
Really? If it ensured German dominance on the continent, and a greater Kaiserreich, why wouldn't they split up Austria-Hungary? It just means one less nation to worry about in the future.
But Austria-Hungary is a German ally. That's like saying if Canada balkanized then the US would have one less nation to worry about.

I think if Germany could absorb Austria and make an ally of Hungary then it would be advantageous for them. It would not be advantageous if any part of Austria-Hungary ended up being opposed to to them

If Canada balkanized, and the USA saw an option to solve the situation for good by annexing Ontario, the Maritimes, and western Canada, setting up independent Quebec as a satisfied and loyal ally, and giving Labrador and NFL to Britain, making a main ally happier, it would be sorely tempted to do so instead of wasting its energies to defend the status quo and a useless instable "ally" that can't seemingly stand on its own.
Same with Hungary. They are not intrested in German plans. And Germany dont need Hungary as a ally against Serbia or Romania, it needs them as allies against Russia or France... all of them states wich Hungary dont wants to piss off...
