Surely the problem here is that Trump is yet to be convicted of insurgency and the US Supreme Court, which Trump overloaded with his own people, will simply overturn this ruling?

Sadly that is exactly right.

Trump’s crack legal team have already said they are appealing to the Supreme Court and have asked for a stay on the Colorado ruling.

In theory it needs to be resolved by 5th Jan for him to be on the Colorado primary ballot.

Another 13 states have also said they are likely to bar him too, so this was a test case in that regard

Not just convicted but even charged.

I always thought his (political) impeachment for insurrection was on fairly thin grounds, even though he sailed close to the wind, and it is significant that none of the subsequent (legal) charges against him involved insurrection.

Given this, and the fact that other State courts have not jumped the same way as the court in Colorado when asked to do the same, I would have thought that it is almost certain that the US Supreme Court will overrule the finding.

But Trump will milk it for all it is worth, and I really think that things like this merely play into his hands.

Not even just America - his foreign policy will be a disaster to the wider world - he could potentially sell Ukraine down the river by cutting off funding. And given his past actions regarding Israel will likely add fuel to the fire in the Middle East.

Speaking as a lawyer myself, it is interesting to note that the provision doesn't actually say "give aid or comfort to those engaged in insurrection or rebellion". Instead it says "give aid or comfort to the enemies thereof", the word "thereof" appearing to refer to the Constitution of the United States or perhaps the United States itself. The question would then appear to turn on whether the rioters were such enemies, and also whether Trump had "given aid and comfort to" them, which may have a more restricted meaning than one might think at face value.

As an aside, it is interesting to note that none of the 6 January rioters was actually charged with insurrection, presumably because from what I have read insurrection charges are considered difficult to prove. This itself perhaps makes it difficult to prove that such people were "enemies thereof" however reprehensible their actions, as well as making it difficult to regard Trump himself as engaged in insurrection or rebellion for the purposes of the provision in question.

Having read the provision, I can also see the argument (which I think I read has been advanced) that the provision does not apply to the office of President itself because it does not refer to that office as such whilst it does refer to Senator, Representative and an elector of President. Perhaps it was just not thought necessary.

All in all, there seems plenty of wriggle-room for the US Supreme Court to throw out the case.

EDIT: I would just add that I haven't read the Colorado court judgment, so these are only my initial observations.
