Salah validity for a latecomer who doesn’t follow imam’s sujud sahw

Assalamu alaikum! I’ve got a question about prayer. Suppose a latecomer joins a Hanafi imam. In the final sitting, they recite at-tahiyat and salawat, but they don’t follow the imam for tasleem to the right and sujud sahw. Instead, they stay silent, and after the imam’s final tasleem, they stand up to complete their missed rak’ahs. In their own last rak’ah, they do sujud sahw to make up for the imam’s mistake. Is their salah valid? Also, while waiting for an answer, if the prayer time ends and the prayer turns out to be invalid, would they be sinful for missing it? Should they assume the worst and just repeat the prayer anyway, so they don’t miss the time?

Wa alaikum assalam. I heard that if you don't follow the imam's sujud sahw, you should still do it yourself later. Your salah should be valid, and you're not sinful for the time ending if you made sincere effort to find the ruling.
