I know I reblogged the one but I actually really don't like the idea.
(I do, however, like the scene where Dooku decides to go along with an unlikely Sith candidate and subtly tries to signal Palpatine. I might prefer it staged with like, Jar Jar (c.f. that one fic that's a rewrite of a Padme/Anakin scene but has Binks approaching Sidious in hopes of becoming a Sith, iirc) or something)
For one thing, although I don't think I've actually seen much if any of Clovis, I'm pretty sure I don't like him. And then, well, I think it's somewhere in the emotional neighborhood with «only child who heavily projects onto Palpatine» and «visceral reaction to some ~"old boys' club" situations» (I get the latter sometimes in the Darth Plagueis novel.
San feels more like a nephew, but I don't think of Palpatine as Damask's adoptive son either. I'm not sure Palpatine would like being considered a son anyway, and mrmph it just feels like it has a different dimension than a parental relationship. (nor do I think Plagueis regards Tenebrous as a father, though I think Hego's conception of "father" is still emotionally and physically distant.)
