FWIW I quite like your way of pointing at things here, though maybe I’m more inclined towards letting things hang out for a while in the (conflationary?) alliance space to see which seem to be the deepest angles of what’s going on in this vicinity, and doing more of the conceptual analysis a little later.
That said, if someone wanted to suggest a rewrite I’d seriously consider adopting it (or using it as a jumping-off point); I just don’t think that I’m yet at the place where a rewrite will flow naturally for me.
