If Zeke was in no danger of dying and would eventually regenerate, why bother? It's not like he was needed again in the next five minutes (possibly not even in the next five days) so he'd have plenty of time to regenerate. Sure, getting hit by a bunch of ship cannons hurts, but if everything grows back, no lasting damage right?

The fact Reiner protected Zeke seems like a decision to save another shifter's life, because being armored, even if it's not as great as it used to be, gave Reiner a better chance at survival. Reiner saving Zeke may have saved him so your correct. Reiner betraying Marley is highly unlikely because he will not have a side to go to. He attacked Wall Maria so Paradis is out of the question. But the Ninth Titan may be someone who is neutral or serving their own side so Reiner might join the ninth shifter. Anyways we are 10 days away from chapter 95 I hope that more information will be made available.
