Decidedly not. They allowed diversity extending citizenship throughout the empire and allowing freedom of religion. They had the most advanced legal system. It began to fall when people stopped paying taxes, location corruption was left unchecked, and refused to accept new comers

This is vaguely correct, but mostly deceptive. Many other things preceded and interacted with declining tax receipts and rising corruption. Arguably, unassimilated immigration was the major factor, depending in what period you focus on.

Even Hadrian, for all his goodwill to raising the quality of life of Romans as far as the empire stretched, sent his legions to jolly stomp everyone necessary to keep it that way and then some The roads were useful for salt and logicists though

Logistics rule tho. It's like "sure food is good for nutrients and calories but what else" That's all they need to be for

I think I'd go with "practical politics" combined with the synergistic "open to new ideas and peoples". Legions had a lot going for them, but they were basically Greek phalanxes at first; new ideas made them work in more situations, e.g. hillsides.
