Palpatine didn't do that on a whim though. He only did the spirit thing once on the Death Star architect and he colossally ****ed up(even though he technically didn't do anything wrong.)
Cronal, Jerec, Palps Hands/Dark Adepts weren't in any danger from him. The worst Palps did was cut off their access to knowledge(Jerec) or switch their positions(Cronal) and those 2 were pretty powerful and Palps Dark Adepts were also noted to be significantly powerful and Palps didn't really do anything to them either.
So I'd take being a Hand since this is being trained by Palps, wouldn't be overly powerful to be much a threat to him and be able to acquire any Imperial resources for use.
