I think it would be better for Button if he doesn't get the seat. I expect he would be totally outclassed by Alonso and I don't think that is how he would want to be remembered. He would want to be remembered as the guy who was in the right place at the right time and lucked a championship.
As a long-time McLaren supporter I really hope Button is still there next year. He deserves it and I think he genuinely could put up a decent fight with Alonso.
If you just look when he was at McLaren with Hamilton he certainly didn't embarrass himself:
