I hadn't thought of it this way, but the Constitution explicitly stating that impeachment does not raise a double jeopardy issue for subsequent prosecution of the same conduct would seem to be another thing undermining arguments in favor of absolute executive immunity.

The textualist and “originalist” arguments against immunity are overwhelming. It’s best to understand SCOTUS decision as the culmination of arguments invented out of thin air.
