Is the narrow impeachment a tactical mistake by Democrats?

This has been the classic Trump/GOP reaction to the subpoenas: drag it through the courts in an effort to stall as long as possible...hopefully until after the next election.

You understand you get to do that, right?

Did I say or imply otherwise? No. The fact he can was not the point.

The Russian strategy only works if the election is extremely close. Hillary lost by a few votes in a few swing states. Between Russian Facebook ads, Hillary's rhetorical gaffes, Comey's weird-ass October surprise, the DNC emails, and Hillary's decision not to campaign in those states, it's impossible to say which combination of factors was actually necessary and/or sufficient to cost her the election. There's no reason to believe the Russians could possibly engineer a landslide in 2020, or even that their efforts will make much difference either way.

As you yourself pointed out, it doesn't take a landslide, just a few thousand votes in key states.
