[Kung Fu Panda] If Tai Lung didn’t break out, would Shifu and the 5 have just kept bullying Po until he left?

No. The Furious Five were already beginning to warm up to Po before the escape, which we see from the scene where they try his noodles. Po was put through hell but stuck with it, and everyone but Tigress respected him for it. Tigress and Shifu would still have been hard sells, but if Tai Lung hadn't broken out, Master Oogway would probably have stayed. His wise counsel might have eventually prevailed over Shifu's stodgy expectations. Po clearly has a knack for kung-fu, and work ethic to spare. In time, he probably would have become a powerful master like the rest of the Five.

A more interesting question is if Po would have ended up like Tai Lung. Shifu's training produced two extraordinarily talented and powerful masters who were totally reliant on external validation to function. Po was already kind of a people-pleaser before he was selected to be Dragon Warrior, and we see how committed he is to sticking with his training no matter how brutal it is. Tai Lung was such an overwhelming threat, his coming forced everyone in the Jade Palace to come to terms with their own limitations, which is what pushed Po to finally accept himself for who he was. Without that push, he might have made for a very interesting villain.
