Not going to happen, it's been surmised that Godbert, even if he doesn't have a seat on the Syndicate, does not actively oppose the Syndicate or at the very least is far less "overarching good" than he appears. He's a person who uses his riches to ease the pain, and not raise others. Which makes him a bit better than your average Monetarist, but it's also likely where the conflict between him and his son occurs (His son likely wanting nothing to do with that aspect of the family tradition, instead concentrating on making the world a better place). That they get on so well is actually the only inspiring thing I can think of the city.
This is speculation, obviously.
Personally, burn the city down and we're not going to lose anything of value. I used to think "but we'd lose the Flames" but after the ABSOLUTELY IDIOTIC way they handled 2.4 I'm like... fuck that city and why couldn't Dalamud fall on it instead of Mor Dhona.
Like, legit, I can think of nothing that is remotely redeeming about it, whereas I can at least think of some redeeming values for every other city (except Ishgarde).
