Although I can imagine him being reluctant after the engine saga, I reckon he is also a pragmatic man.

Unlikely, but who knows.
Sorry to quote myself, but I suppose Alonse himself would be willing to accept a very meager salary to have a last chance at showing his worth in a top car. That together with some "show funds" from Bernie would help Mercedes swallow their (budgetary) pain.
