No use falling on swords anymore, apparently.
This is going to be awful though, as Biden is going to get demolished in another debate, and it'll look terrible if he refuses.

Harris would have access to the funds from their campaign, she'd essentially inherit Biden's war chest.

There are no ballot issues. Joe Biden isn't even on any ballots yet.
