I mean we have confirmation that at least on 方壶 the Arbiter-General is 冱渊君, who also came to Luofu to help with putting down 饮月君 after the mess (essentially offering political legitimacy to the punishment 十王司 handed down). And all of the 六司 on 方壶 basically are under 冱渊君's command and are loyal to her(?) (based on the lore documentation here). That's basically a political dynamic that's vastly different from the more rebellious/confrontational nature of the Vidyadhara of Luofu.
For the Vidyadhara specifically, unless they can resolve their reproduction issue, or the Xianzhou somehow collectively go pacifist, they are basically a dying species.
I mean sure, but how many of Xianzhou's citizens are serving active duty in the pursuit of revenge against Abundance? From what I understand, the Vidyadhara (at least on Luofu) are mostly serving in a support capacity, not as front line soldiers (either as medical personnel or as intelligence secretaries). Plus, what real alternative do the Vidyadhara actually have? It seems like moving out of Xianzhou Alliance and colonizing an unoccupied planet isn't really a viable option. Fighting the Xianzhou Alliance for political power will only get them wiped out faster. 方壶 is already politically under the control of one Vidyadhara tribe, yet I don't see dissidents making a mass exodus to 方壶, which presumably faces the same biological problems. If anything, the lack of exodus suggests the other tribes don't politically agree with the political direction of 冱渊君.
