The Empire only really needed to protect Coruscant for the population and industrial base.
The rest could ne self-governed as long as they paid taxes and were watched closely enough that they couldn't start an fleet-building project.
If a system somehow rebelled, send the imperial navy to wack it.
If it doesn't work, send the Death Star and accept their surrender... or blow up the planet.
Rebels can hardly be seen as a positive force for change if said change means annihilation.
And since there's fewer autonomous elements in the Imperial armed forces, mutiny is less of a threath and can ba adressed with the Death Star anyway.
In the end, the Empire can endure and slowly squeeze the galaxy into a thighter grip.
