A leftist party can’t win over conservatives voters by imitating conservatives, but it sure can loose leftist voters by that.

Yes, it can.

I'm not sure I'd call the Social Democrats in either country country "leftist" (they're center-left and the "center" portion is more relevant), but it's fairly likely that the Scholz' party copying the Danish route would work. The issue is that the SPD's approach is that it was half-hearted. If you want to win over xenophobes you have to mean it. For now the assumption with voters is that Scholz and the other SPD people are all bark and no bite.
