Grimm need none of those things, when they start spawning within controlled human territory, that requires far more vigilance than even the worst IRL human conflict... even fire might be more easily prevented with preventative measures.

Seems as if you are just making assumptions. This is the problem with your whole argument as it is just arrogantly presuming things have to be the way you see it. Also, Grimm don't auto-spawn from what we've seen. Near Salem's lair they were emerging from pools, but there is no reason to believe such occurs elsewhere. Even if we assume Vale would be strictly limited to just the forces they have presently and would not be able to mobilize more forces, there is no reason to believe they are incapable of fighting in a war between Kingdoms. Presumably, they wouldn't start it.

This outright states the northern colonies rely on Atlas technology to survive and that outer colonies were treated differently under Mistralian law, that dynamic is unlikely to have changed

Why is it "unlikely to have changed" exactly? Significant changes occurred in the wake of the Great War and it was not the last major war. It also indicated that Mistral lost a lot of territory. They may not even have most, if any, of the northern section. Over the course of decades they may have also greater centralized control over their territories.
