[Star Wars] Roles reversed, would Palpatine have confronted Yoda?

After order 66 was invoked and the Jedi were decimated, Yoda's back was against the wall. Faced with the rise of the Empire and Vader's rampage, he decided the best course of action was to bet the course of the galaxy on single combat with Sidious.

We see Palpatine use trickery and planning over brute force at practically every opportunity, even attempting to avoid the fight with Yoda (what could be perceived as an unnecessary risk in his ultimate victory). But assuming a switch in roles where Darth Sidious is the one with everything to lose, would he put it all on the line to willingly seek out Yoda like he did with Maul?

Of course not.  Palpatine has hidden for decades, the worst case if he loses is that things go back to the way they were before TPM.  He’d resume scheming and seeking immortality, though this would slow him down.
