Rosenstein's been a civil servant for 30 years. Worked with Ds and Rs in that position. Had to. The only thing he'll be selling in his new career is access to insiders at DOJ/FBI/Regulatory Agencies.
Is fear of alienating Trump Admin a calculation in his head? Yes. You are correct. But is it a big enough one for him to cross swords with certain of Mueller's people, who supposedly don't agree with all of what Barr said? Is it a big enough concern for him to possibly ruin his name at a time when he's job searching? I just don't see him making the investment you reference.
But much like Barr's motivations, I don't know. You could be correct. I think Trump has converted everyone in DC from set offenses to run and gun, so assuming anything is unwise.
