Hm... even with this I imagine the Sunset Invasion achievement will be ridiculously hard, since anything the Aztecs colonize will be 75% permanent autonomy, right?

50%. Overseas colonies are 75% and everything they colonize in the Americas is not overseas.
But you're focusing too much on the Aztecs.

Imagine a Westernized Ming protectorate. 80% tech cost before other reductions. Huge manpower. Huge force limits. +3 advisors from day 1 (or close to it). No coalitions.

The tech malus isn't part of the faction system anymore. But yeah, they'd be great. It sounds similar to the same thing with the 2 groups at once bug that they closed.

No, when I said tech malus, I meant 80% tech cost, not 80% tech penalty.

I.e. you'd have 20% tech cost reduction over anyone, since you'd be a Western tech country with a 20% tech discount from the protectorate status.
