Double edged sword. Two sith with unlimited resources couldn't kill more than 1 out of 3 jedi 20 years later.
Might be more an issue of, "don't try to kill a mosquito with a cannon" than dark>light.
Also, Rogue One really draws into question your assertion the rebellion was Good and not merely Neutral.
Edit: yoda in the prequels and Luke in the new trilogy both kind of insinuated the fall of the order (both times) was personal hubris. Not a weakness of the light side, but user error.
