She has all this stuff she could do in theory and it might appeal to her, but at the same time she knows it'll never going to be that simple and the effort needed to make it work will make even trying pointless in her mind. Wynn is basically the moral psychopath. She doesn't really get the whole "people" thing but still tries to do the right thing, it's just that "the right thing" doens't include following the philosophy wherein the greatest number of people are happy. Or it possibly actually does, just in the most draconian way possible (idiots are causing more suffering than happiness so they should be removed)

So far it just seems that emotions to Wynn are what colors are to a blind person, you can tell them about it and they can understand, but they'll never really be able to see for themselves. Her devotion to Wendis can be misleading here but when you read her actual dialogue about it she is utterly and overly pragmatic about it. She lost something dear to her that she's not willing to lose, so she'll do whas she can to bring it back.

All this actually closely follows a type of autism that I'll freely admit I might just be projecting though.

As for the choice at the end, I made a thread to discuss that in particular, but essentially I feel that while there are some similarities with the situation in Yhilin the question isn't "should something change" but "should something change now. And my thoughts are that if things change in the current situation that'd just lead to the Divine Claw taking control, as the New Unionist which we want to support simply don't have the clout to take control (Simon himself mentions this several times)

More importantly, assuming something does happen in the near future Simon and Yhilin are in no position to really intervene as Aram would immediately take that opportunity to invade, so we need to buy time until we've dealt with Aram before we can even consider being directly involved with Zirantia, which will inevitably mean dealing with the Divine Claw.

The most positive scenario I can envision for the further destabilization of Zirantia is that the many factions trying to take control will render Zirantia utterly inert due to infighting. The People's Action Party and National Action Party both have enough leverage to take control and Trin taking over Yuanon hasn't had any time to take effect yet, and we don't really want either of them nor the Divine Claw to take control. Zirantia falling apart is the perfect preface for the Divine Claw to intervene and actually get "involved" with politics.
