My thought process is that, after enough time, an invasive species of some plant or animal would find its way into its new ecosystem, and properly become a part of the ecological cycle? Does this ever happen? Maybe it just needs far more time to do so?

Yep. Over an extensive evolutionary cycle the ecology will reshape.
This can be incredibly drastic not just on what lives their but also the terrain itself. And the term is also not limited to insects and animals, plants as well can be considered invasive.
The reason the term is invasive is typically the shift is a consequence of human action and its disruptive to the existing equilibrium.
Its very easy for things to domino out of control, and we wont have a way to “fix” things if they fall out of our favor short of waiting.
Waiting a few Ten, Hundred, or Thousand years for a new stability is-
Not ideal when alternatively we can maintain the stability that currently exists
