Make some stuff up or something to justify it. If the end result is a supreme amount of activity, it can only be a good thing.
Wasn't that the biggest downfall of the Kusari/Rheinland war? Someone just made something up? I mean, I agree with you in regards to being an activity drawing factor, but I think there'd be too many people complaining about lack of subtenancy in the story
Ultimately depends if the factions like the idea or not. At the very least, in comparison, Kusari and Rheinland were extremely close allies (closer than any other House yo wanted the Liberty v Rheinland war to end.
Either way, I'd find a war people would agree to first, and then fill in the blanks or plot holes before the hostilities begin if possible.
Yeah, I agree. I think perhaps a reasonable discussion in due time pertaining this would be a good idea. But will the devs agree...... That's the question

Ideas:
Blood Dragons finally take Tomioka (or launch a large offensive against such)
Hessians launch an invasion into New Berlin
Mollys coordinate with IMG to destroy Graves (seems like it was in the works, but idk where it went)
Legion attack Pennsylvania in coordination with Harmony
Farmers Alliance and LWB remnants coordinate to make Synth Foods' life hell
All of these could easily supplement any war between houses, adding to the fighting that could take place and the story development.
It indeed was in discussion but never got anywhere productive. Devtonia is real.
Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.
Cursed be the war.

Here is a few more ideas to "mix things up*";
・GMG gas runs out
・Corsairs find a food producing planet
・Outcasts destroy IMG completely in Tau
・Liberty legalizes Cardamine
・Ageira losses monopoly on Lanes/Gates as Lane Hackers figure out their secrets and spread them about
・Terraforming is reduced to a trivial process that takes under a year
・All food is replaced by Synth paste
・Blood Dragons are legalized and made an arm of the KNF
・Order returns to Liberty and are made an arm of the LN
・Nomads cease to exist
Am I missing anything?
*Mix things up, or rather, remove reasons for conflict and reduce the game to a joke.

What is the point are you trying to make? I am confused with your attempts on a sarcastic type of humor. But from what I gather as a Bretonian player you are upset with the idea of potential Graves nuke. Understandable.
PS: oh, i just looked at your profile and found that you are affiliated with BMM. your upset is double understandable.
Are we talking about future wars, or past? Either way, I shall answer both.
Past:
LN v RM - Some of the best action I had in the past.
KNF v BAF v GRN - 3 Way war, turned bad - Enjoyed RPing Kusari Exile though!
Wish HF v LN developed more, having HF Battleships vs Liberty Capitals was a sight to behold.
Future:
Ignore my poor lore knowledge, if I'm making silly conflicts - But.
DSE - Universal - Interspace Commerce ( I say "war" lightly ) All three of the corporations have been trying to one-up each other, for money ( If I remember ) And ALL of these factions have ties to some sort of dodgy dealings. USI - XA | IC - RHA/GC. Imagine if they went full-blown "Destroy their profits!" Liberty would have a full-blown Corporation war to deal with, whilst dealing with their own pirates - LR and LH.
Okay, now I said that... It's a full-blown pirate invasion funded by Liberty Companys. - Sounds stupid, yet interesting at the same time...
IMG seems to have developed into some sort of military power. Maybe they could stand against a weak Bretonia claiming their space as they went? And as their Ally (liberty) is dealing with their Pirate onslaught, they'd have to make a deal with RM for assistance.
With a wounded Bretonia, basically it's anyone's game? Hell! If Corsairs got peace with OC ( Doubt but, this is my imaginary Disco ) Corsairs could begin sending their fleets to Bretonia, expanding their empire!
Order to become more of a peacekeeper faction, ensuring any huge threats to the way of life in Sirius isn't altered. Could've helped with Gallia, could rage war with the Coalition ( Again.. I'm not so confident with the Coalitions lore so, don't cry at me)
Oh ! the Zoners, they need to get up off their arses, and being to wipe out Nomads left right and centre, while also causing Bretonia some beef as well.
All this is me being silly and stupid, but I dunno, if there was going to be more wars raged. I wouldn't mind seeing some of these come true.

Meet a population over 1 billion and have enough cash and materials in your pocket to sustain a prolonged war because fighting a house is barely possible unless you resort to terror tactics. Essentially all criminal factions work under the radar of houses because a conventional war is suicide.
I think Bretonia is still the richest house around. Pockets as deep as a common corsair whore.

Looks at the amount of damage done to Leeds and New London
Gotta love those rose tinted glasses
