Yes but the whole "no allegiance but to self" IS considered a primal zerg trait. As for the tension problems, we saw that since Evolution. The Umojans clearly didn't want to give in to Valerian's request because of what his father did. Sure, it's been years since Mengsk's death, but there were plenty he relied on to run the Dominion during his rule, and those people are still around. Therefore, Mengsk may be gone, but his influence remains.
