Otherwise you'll have to take the CFIA ride to reinstate, and that ride is kind of a pain in the arse.

While this sounds logical, part 61 says that you have to take a checkride for one of the ratings on your expired CFI ticket. Taken literally, earning a new instructor rating will not re-instate your old ones.
Probably best to ask your FSDO about this one.

(a) Flight instructor certificates. The holder of an expired flight instructor certificate who has not complied with the flight instructor renewal requirements of §61.197 may reinstate that flight instructor certificate and ratings by filing a completed and signed application with the FAA and satisfactorily completing one of the following reinstatement requirements:
(1) A flight instructor certification practical test, as prescribed by §61.183(h), for one of the ratings held on the expired flight instructor certificate.
(2) A flight instructor certification practical test for an additional rating.
Probably best to read the regs.
