The unambiguous Democratic victory scenario, 52 senators and keeping the house, would probably be even better for the party than we realize.
Post Body

If the filibuster ends up being overturned to codify Roe v Wade, that would put Dems in the position of being able to pass a DC Statehood referendum, which the the people of DC would almost certainly vote in favor of, adding 2 extra Democratic senators.

Other Possibilities:

They could also finally pass a Puerto Rican statehood/commonwealth/independence referendum, although considering the more ambiguous nature of the political outcome, I think it's less of a shoe-in.

The fair representation act, could make gerrymandering far more difficult by requiring districts to have 3-5 members, and house & senate elections would have to use RCV, allowing 3rd parties to potentially get small numbers of seats in congress.
