You don't need immaculate conception to dodge Nestorianism.
The Theotokos title guards against it: the baby Mary bore is God. She birthed Jesus's flesh, but His divine nature is not seperable from his human nature.
Mary's sinlessness isn't what keeps Christ one, His hypostatic union does.
Mary needed the cross, and Christ stayed one Person with two inseperable natures.
This is consistent with the Reformers.
