A very good reason to keep sides unbalanced too. For the rEaLiStiC rP!
If we start talking about "realistic RP" let's start from the premises of the war under which Kusari should not even have the capacity to lead an offensive war with invasion after economy depleted by 813-817 war with Bretonia, 817 obliteration by the Gallic Royal Forces, 817-825 Gallic puppet regime, 823 (?) - 25 - civil war, 825 - conflict with Rheinland. And people say w years are enough to restore economy after that.
If we speak about "rEaLiStiC rP", then one needs to take into account the economy side of war which is the most important actually unless you can win in a few battles with blitzkrieg which is not the case here. If we turn to how most countries were restoring after the war (either WWI or WWII, or more local conflicts) you will see it takes much more time to restore to pre-war state. Even Japan managed to launch economy by mid 1960-s and only with the assistance of the US who forcibly opened their market to cheap Japanese goods.
As for the Enclave - you think they would further their goals more by siding with Kusari who explicitly said they were after war criminals from the Duchy (and the Enclave, obviously) to get the label of collaborationists and never get the badly needed support within Gallia and lose the support they already have? Yeah, mucho logic. You win the couch geopolitician prize, congratulations.
