Force storms can only be done in one place in one system at one time. Even within one battlefield, it takes time to move around and hit targets.
The war will take place over hundreds of thousands of systems.

Is it public knowledge? where does it say that? Much of World War II is theoretically public knowledge. Doesn't mean we random people know it.
It was literally the enemy capital, there's no reason for it to be a secret (indeed, there was imperial propaganda on how great it was), and we aren't talking random people.
The Krayt Empire is a descendant of the Imperial Remnant, which had people from the Dark Empire in it and even still controlled the system for awhile after the world was destroyed. It's on the maps, in other words.

Not true. In the Dark Empire audio drama, Mon Mothma notes that Palpatine was unleashing several Storms at once in multiple different star systems as he was unleashing one on Coruscant.

Ooohkay, that is new on me 🙂
So, yea, that does help a lot, but I do think a sufficiently big attackon his location with enough of the Sith Annihilators could potentially do something about that.
Let me note how the New Republic, still fairly young and weak at this point, was able to hold out against him and his various superweapons for some time.
The storms do require concentration, so it seems likely that even being able to do multiple, he can only do so for so long. And while he may be able to do a few locations, a fleet can still be in dozens, even hundreds of locations.

Sidious was beating the shit out of the New Republic and Krayt is gonna die.
Yes, but it was still taking some time despite the NR being fairly small and weak (it lost Coruscant to Imperial Warlords *before* Sidious reappeared). His force power is not an I-win button, is what I'm saying.
In contrast to the Krayt Empire which is large, strong, and has an incredibly overpowered speciality fleet in his Sith Troopers and their force-based tech.

Curious, with Krayt's Sith even stay loyal when they know that Palpatine is more powerful? Loyalty is cool and all but as heretical as the One Sith are they only follow Krayt because he's powerful.
I think they view Krayt as the personification of the One Sith to an extent. If the Order is stronger than Sidious, then that's good enough, Krayt doesn't need to take him on in a one-on-one duel.
Sorta like how Rule of Two sith consider treachery an ok way to off the boss, aside from raw personal power.

Certainly true for some. But many of them are just unquestionably loyal to him such as Talon. It's almost as if they were brainwashed. And the Sith Troopers would never defect, Krayt can and has ordered them to kill themselves before.
I'll note that with some exceptions like Nihl and Havok, most were literally born One Sith. They were raised in the sith ways from birth.
At least some of them had mental connections to Krayt- Stryfe talked of Krayt's presence in his mind (though when he was unable to feel it following Krayt's first death, it didn't shake his loyalty, just made him concerned).
Aside from the Sith Troopers, there's Ruyn allowing himself to be killed by Talon on Krayt's order.

It's plausible for Sidious to break that mental connection, but he probably has other things to be doing.
Yes, in normal sith it should certainly be breakable.
Sith Troopers, it's literally programmed in, so they're another matter.
