So in the end my point remains I guess. The Domans didn't revolt because their lives were too rosy.
The atrocities come /after/ the rebellion. Most Garlean provinces are probably perfectly happy to chill and br part of the Empire.
Rebellions in the Roman Empire were exceedingly rare, and they probably are the same for the Garleans. The only one we do hear about gets stomped flat so no one gets any funny ideas.
I find your argument humorous (in a good way) because it is a very eternal question.
"Is it better to have safety or freedom?"
However that implies people were free before the Garleans invaded (we have no idea) they certainly were not before the Romana attacked. Generally it was just people trading one set of ruler for another.
