Is there a reason why Palpatine didn't keep the droid army up and running after he established the Empire, and just adjust their programming to Imperial standards or whatever?

Seems like adding the millions upon millions of droids in the Separatist army to his ranks would have made his Empire truly unbeatable.

Right they're mostly fodder in comparison to trained clones or whatever, but there are still hundreds of millions of them at the very least. Seems like that would have made him nearly unbeatable.

And didn't the Emperor pretty much stop caring what the galaxy at large thought of his methods? That's why he dissolved the Senate and made the Death Stars.

No, the Emperor didn't "stop caring". He always cared. Heck, the entire reason he created the Death Stars was to incite fear into the populace in an attempt to stop rebellion. A droid army would backfire in this regard as it would more likely incite rebellion rather than suppress it. It's not like he needed more troops anyways.

plus him taking over the Droid Amry may have exposed him as the puppeteer behind the Clone Wars as well, the whole idea of the droids was that Sidious COULD shut them all down in one fell swoop; literally ending the fake conflict in mere seconds

I imagine that Palpatine also just never really saw a need to bolster his military's numbers anyway. By the time he became Emperor the Jedi had been almost entirely wiped out, and the galaxy was his to command.
