Just a short point, the real disadvantage of an untrustworthy ally is not the backstab, but the cost of the potential backstab. The more you mistrust your ally, the more you have to keep fleets near gates instead of sending them to enemies, the more defenses you have to build/maintain in "safe" territory, the more slowly trade will go on(you would not give a dangerous WM ally a few thousand tons of mins for DN building while you keep on researching for nubs), the more problems with intersettling and the more communication, scanning and thinking MM has to be done(why has he moved 200 BBs+200 Bombers away from front - fleeing, hiding or prepairing attack and against whom?).
If there is too much distrust, it might happen that having no alliance and intersettling might be better.
