Yesterday, my TA walitlisted me on the TPE-YVR flight for a lower fare and it cleared overnight for ~$4000 less than the J fare is selling for. Is this AC being proactive?

Hopefully TPE is ok.
Was just in TPE... things seemed fine other than more people wearing masks. Also connected in HKG on way to TPE and again, masks everywhere. (And technically, HKG is not a 'mainland' connection, and the airport is on a man made island off a real island ).

Also, you have demonstrated the value in a real TA who has a good relationship with an airline.
