What are they gonna do when they end up with no candidate?
I still fear the Speaker of the House option - this one's pretty easy to pull off.

a Republican candidate for 2024. What option are you referring to?

AFAIK, the only "Speaker option" is for the Speaker to become president if both the president and VP are not able to.

If Republicans end up losing Trump as a candidate before his name is on the ballot, they can just choose an alternative one. I'm not sure what the various state laws are about registering for the ballot as a candidate. There might be deadlines. But, even so, Republicans could endorse someone for a write in campaign.

I don't see how the Speaker gets involved in an election.
