The Confederates who weren't allowed to hold office under this amendment weren't convicted of being insurrectionists, it was a fact that they were and therefore not qualifed for the presidency.

Right, but one of the concerns is that the public perception of unfairness will almost certainly be aggravated should he be removed without conviction. This is doubly so when Trump wasn't physically present at the insurrection. Again, that's in regard to public perception and not jurisprudence.
That Trump was guilty of insurrection was a finding of fact by the court. That's due process, whether Trumpies like it or not.
