Even if the Sultana abolishes the Syndicate and the Crown, she effectively points the gun at herself and removes the Syndicate's only check/balance. She strips herself of all of her power but the Syndicate will remain strong, not because they're the Syndicate, but because of why they're on the Syndicate. The Syndicate members are tycoons of business, infrastructure, military, and politics. You may strip the Syndicate of their official ruling power, but they are still the leaders of their sectors and businesses.
Lolorito controls Ul'dah's trade. Teledji Adeledji owns the Brass Blades, Ul'dah's police. Dewlala is Ul'dah's foremost religious leader. Fyrgeiss (who seems like a pretty nice guy honestly) and the Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern has monopolized the mining of all raw resources including Ceruleum production. Hildibrand Sr will still go around suplexing anyone he wants!
Unless you remove each of the Syndicate members from being the heads of their respective money pits, the Sultana has done nothing to remove their influence/control on Ul'dah.

SpoilerThere is of course the unlikely possibility that she has the foresight to either nationalize their businesses and redistribute their wealth or at least break apart the monopolies that give them their influence before removing their legal authority. Dare to dream.
