You might be right on some points though I don't agree with all.

Martin has been able to quickly blackmail the other Overseers, but remember they were already blackmailed by Campbell to begin with. Seeing him gone and knowing Marting recovered his black book is a good enough message, since it was truly Campbell's power over the Abbey.

For Pendleton, it is mostly the name and the wealth of his family which mattered for the nobility. I suppose most of them don't really care about politics as long as their own comfort and mundane parties are not threatened, so it may be quite easy to manipulate their opinion, at least for the ruling majority.

For the wanted posters, they were probably more for the City Watch than the common citizens, and those can be easily printed if the state had complete control of the printing press in Dunwall (Rothwild Slaughterhouse is a good example of how the state controlled most industries under Burrows' regency). I can understand wanted posters in the Flooded District, since the most inner parts are controlled by the City Watch, but I don't remember seeing any in the Old Port.

However I agree with you on the gap after the prison escape, mostly because nothing would have forced the Loyalists to act right away after Corvo's escape.

One other point but this concerns the DLC. I can understand that all three missions in The Knife of Dunwall happened in one day since Timsh's job was planned before he became interesting to Daud, and Delilah is smart enough to launch an Overseer assault right on Daud's base when he started to have an interest in her through her relation with the barrister. Maybe she was even keeping an eye on him before the Outsider appeared to tell her name.

However considering The Brigmore Witches, I can't help but notice how fast the new cell control system was installed at Coldridge, if it has been like one or two days since Corvo's escape. Still, the rest of the decided procedures were not applied (apart maybe from the sewer one, though the canal between Dunwall Tower and the prison had been empty) and the main door is still broken.
