This strikes me as strange. Wouldn't it be better to take a chance on 'at the mercy of events' than to deliberately pick the worst possible outcome those events might bring about? At worst, you'd be just as bad off as before.

You're more coherent than many of the so-called HCs I see posting in this thread, low though that target may be.

This leads to those alliances napping everyone they can and we get stagnation.
There is also the issue of poor political leaders or hc that cant look far enough ahead. some are stubborn beyond belief. some are too hung up on the past to deal with certain others.

I've said this before, but it's a sad state of affairs when the epitome of political prowess is "if you don't join us, we'll attack you!".

Agreed. Hard caps are a bad idea. You can achieve the same goal (smaller galaxies) by simply creating more galaxies at round start, without the bad side effect of midround newbies having even less chance of landing in a decent galaxy than they already do.
As for late signups, they continue to disproportionally benefit the people who are already on top of the game. I'd rather see BPs of 5 without late signing than BPs of 4 with 1 late signer.
