1.) The balance of the "Three Great Powers" is something that the World Government themselves contrived. Even if they are sure they can win given the BM Pirates weakened state, I don't think that is a balance that they would ever willingly throw off. It was Whitebeard's own personal decision to go to war with the Marines, and Ace being killed wouldn't have threatened Whitebeard's position as a Yonko. Blackbeard was also clearly the most obvious choice for the next Yonko after Whitebeard's death, as they noted that literally only the other Yonko stood any kind of real chance at stopping him. It seems they have a motive to minimize bloodshed over vacancies in any of these areas as much as they can, so the "Throne Wars" that Doffy mentioned are their worst nightmare. Since the Supernova are working in conjunction now (publicly announced alliances lol), and in a lot of cases there will be disputes over who played the bigger role in taking one down, I think they want to avoid being a catalyst in the process. Fujitora's proposal will have untold implications for this, which is why I think they kinda foreshadowed the bad blood between him and Akainu. Shit's going down at this Reverie yo.

2.) I have no proof, but I'm really inclined to side on this one with the people that believe Blackbeard is only after the fruits with inherent destructive power. The Big Mom Pirates crew consist of several Devil Fruits that you wouldn't bat an eye at, but the users of them have made it extremely powerful through practical application. In other words, the fruits require a strong user to see their potential, whereas certain fruits turn you into a beast immediately upon consumption regardless of previous fighting prowess. On another note, I also think we've seen enough of the Soru Soru no Mi that we don't need to see it again. The Gura Gura no Mi got nowhere near the amount of shine that the former did, with Big Mom's Soul fruit being practically the entire theme of Totto Land itself. You can argue that Whitebeard got a comparable amount of screen time during Marineford as Big Mom has gotten over the course of Totto Land, but Whitebeard's fruit was not a prominent feature of said screen time. Big Mom's fruit has you questioning practically every inanimate object in Totto Land. When Big Mom goes down, I expect that to be the last we see of her fruit.

3) Have to also agree with the sentiments that Kaido currently has bigger fish to fry in Wano. Just like Luffy couldn't stay hidden and undiscovered forever, someone had to have spotted Zoro and co. by now, and he's defintely announced his intentions to do away with Luffy's antics.
