Also, if the ban is lifted he would be voted on by the existing HoFers (veterans committee).

That may lessen his chances, since with the writers he'd probably be a shoe-in, and voted on by a much larger pool of people.
There are only 60 or so living HoFers, so he'd have to get 75% of their votes. I still think he'd get in, since some have been vocal about his deserving to be in, including Hank Aaron who has major pull among the group.

But, there is a chance that some of those guys will have a gripe, or an axe to grind and he could get blocked.
