Odo and Dominion Rebellion

Maybe. But the scenario isn't entirely rosy for the Founders if they did follow Odo. It's precarious at best. Let's say they decided to stop producing Jem'Hadar (while letting all the current Jem'Hadar live out their lives peacefully). Within no time, the Founders would be facing the combined vengeance of all the species they'd oppressed over centuries and millennia.
Just think about the fact that the Founders faced 3 separate attempts at genocide against them during the time we saw them. 2 of those attempts were made by people whom the Founders had never even oppressed. (the Cardassian/Romulan fleet, and Garak's attempt at assuming control of the Defiant's weapons to incinerate the Founders' new homeworld)
In the Alpha Quadrant, the female changeling faced justice for the war, but what about all the Founders in the Gamma Quadrant and their role in oppressing billions? Are they supposed to be forgiven just because Odo's helped them turn the page? Facing that threat, maybe they would indeed reverse any influence Odo had - or have to face justice - or go on the run as a collective group of changeling refugees.

We don't really know how many of the Dominion worlds found membership in the Dominion to be at least "we don't bother them and they don't bother us" and at most actively beneficial though.
The Dosi and the Karemma didn't seem to have any overt issues with the Dominion, at least as long as they avoided actively provoking them. The Wadi and the Hunters didn't seem to have any issues with the Dominion either (I know that's a cheat as TPTB hadn't invented the Dominion yet). We have no real idea how many other worlds may have felt the same because we weren't given much exposure to Dominion worlds.
