Now, you will see this differently, but as for me I would rather ally with someone who has pulled off a successful backstab than ally with someone who altogether refuses to backstab.
I wouldn't trust him behind my back

I've always wondered how much more it must cost to protect against an ally you can't trust. You certainly need extra ships kept aside just in case and then your ally sees those extra ships and raises the stake. You in turn might be inclined to do the same ..... Lurking

Meanwhile those ships could have been used in the assault or defense against your current opponent.
Furthermore all your planets of any worth must have a decent amount of defences and a powerful starbase. Thumbs Down

My question is: how do you achieve any good results when you're having to concern yourself with a backstab all the time?

I'm not saying that I'd never ally with someone whom had previously backstabbed me, but I certainly wouldn't set them to friend and intercolonisation would only occur (if at all), to a very limited degree. Personally I think it would be better to go to war with someone you don't trust and ally with someone you do, but sure there's always exceptional circumstances.
my 2 cents
