This is what the Clone Wars should have been.
I suppose you can have a WW1-style movie out of that. Two armies of clones identical to each other, slaughtering each other. But it won't lead to an Empire like in the OT. All it will end up with is two armies of clones overthrowing their masters when they realize their masters use them as expendable pawns.
No Palpatine, no Vader, no Tarkin, just clones running the new regime after overthrowing the Kaminoans and the Republic/Jedi.
That is a good point. Of course they do need to have the cooperation of the systems of resources and industry. That would be a messy thing to do with coercion. Another interesting point to consider is how isolated Kaminoans are. Sometimes lack of information and sense of scale can both really embolden or moderate somebody.
That's not a problem after the Clone Wars. The clone army at the time would be the strongest army in the galaxy, and they can easily coerce resource and shipbuilding worlds to give them what they want.
What I could imagine happening is that they don't take over the Republic, but they basically lease the army to Palpatine. I think the people of Kamino are cold and calculating. This brain chip implant is really potent. What is stopping from it being used at key targets? I am sure Kamino could afford to hire mercs and other shady people after their fortunes were already made in the Clone Wars.
The way I see it, once the Clone Wars are over, the Kaminoans would tell Palpatine to screw off and have a Rome 476 AD scenario where the soldiers of the Empire overthrow the Emperor. If the Kaminoans had the brains to put in commands in the inhibitor chips to ensure the clones' loyalty to Kamino, there would be no reason for the Kaminoans to lease the army to Palpatine-they would just cut the middleman out and take the galaxy for themselves. Maybe they'll keep the Senate as a way to ensure the loyalty of many of the systems, maybe they might even put in a puppet senator as Emperor for them to control, but they would have all the cards in play.
Also they could easily, just use the hole in the market that was the destruction of many major droid workships. If you can clone the ideal soldier, why not the ideal worker? The precedent is already set with clones, that the Republic's anti slavery laws don't apply if you were grown in a vat.
More likely they would just enslave the denizens of the galaxy for manual labor and have the clones blow the brains out of any insubordinate slaves. Or perhaps, just re-activate the CIS Battle Droids and make them worker droids.
The chip retcon just keeps shooting itself in the foot, and your post shows Filoni and crew can't even do anything decent with it when it wouldn't even be that hard. If they really wanted to pull that chip bullshit while still having rebel clone characters with some free will like they're trying to forcefully pull off with this Crosshair character, they could've at least had it so the chip shit was only a thing in later batches or something. Instead these people can't seem to decide how to even portray these chip clones. In the end, the only reason this chip shit was even made was because having the clone OCs actually be loyal to their indoctrination would be "too dark" and "muh precious OCs would never do that!" logic. Chip shit wasn't even needed since even in old canon the number of Rebel clones was a grand minority outside of
one planet in Dark Horse, since that's what happens when you're bred for war and indoctrinated since birth.
That would actually work. The earlier batches would be more noble and heroic, but the later batches would be more cruel and bloodthirsty. You can have a story where Rex runs across some new soldiers for the 501st who are oddly well-trained in how to kill Jedi and who barely even talk to him, taking orders more from Chancellor Palpatine and his officers. Imagine if, instead of making Crosshair the villain, the Bad Batch runs across some black-ops Clone Commando squad full of ruthless killers who aren't afraid to kill children. The BB run across some Padawan kids who befriend Omega and help them out, then this new commando squad comes into the picture by brutally murdering the Padawans and earning the eternal ire of the Bad Batch.
He's basically pulling a shitty Traviss maneuver by trying to overly humanize the clones, but while completely throwing away the whole theme of being bred for war and loyalty.
It's still nowhere near as shitty as Traviss' demonization of the Jedi. It's more along the lines of what happened to Cipher 9 in SWTOR, but placed into an entire army. Being an expert on Sith history, I can see Palpatine doing that.
These cold and uncaring fucks even believe in eugenics, and will not just kill their clones, but even their own children for any sign of "imperfection".

Hell with the way they bred clones, they didn't even need chips. Its a cold and emotionless society of perfectionists, so throwing chips in and giving every clone individuality is even more silly and removes any of the harsher and interesting story elements that could come from such a twisted background (its like a THX-1138 scenario over here where these tragic soulless meatbags are just forced to train and walk through empty colorless halls everyday to await the day they're allowed to leave only to die in wars they've only read about). But with Filoni, the Kaminoans are just another greedy happy merchant parody (which was most noted during that corny Senate Murders story of TCW) and the clones are just as campy as 80s GI Joes minus the PSAs and the ability to die (unless they're Rex & friends).
Which again, shows that before the Jedi got involved with the clones, their lives were hell.
