Would it help if I changed the idea from plain "rebirth of the Sith" to "defeating them from the inside and replacing them with a better Dark Jedi Order
I've thought that maybe Dooku was trying to force change upon the Jedi and the Republic in the movies. His motivations are only thinly described in the films, so what I've cobbled together is that hubris -- confidence that he could use the Dark Side for his goal and walk away unscathed -- was his sin and the way he was destroyed. He let the ends justify the means, which is a Jedi habit as we saw in the prequels, and since the ends he wanted were so very grand and expansive, so were the means.
Which actually sounds a bit like what you are planning, but that maybe Dooku got even more out of hand thanin the movies?
