I just want to say that the ban on Talos worship wasn't being enforced until Ulfric and his "True sons and daughters of Skyrim" started making noise about it. Hadvar says that at the beginning of the game if you go with him into the keep. He says that everyone still had their little shrine to Talos until Ulfric started complaining about the ban. Also I don't see why you think that Morrowind would be in any postion to help the Stormcloaks, they've barely started recovering from the Eruption at Red Mountain which was in 4E 3 or 6 (I can't remember). Plus Ulfric doesn't care about the Dunmer or Argonians in his own city, what makes ou think he'd look to a whole country full of them for help. Also Morrowind is ruled by the An-Xileel an Argonian military faction. As we know the Argonians have quite the tendency to seclude themselves and not get involved with anything that doesn't directly affect them so i doubt that they would just decide to help the Stormcloaks (Assuming Ulfric even had the brains to seek help from anyone that isn't a Nord) out of nowhere. The Empire is clearly the best candidate to rule Tamriel, even Jarl Balgruuf states one major perk that stems from siding with them. The economy, trading with the Empire bring an enourmous amount of wealth and splendor to all Imperial provinces. It is stated many times in TES V that the Empire plans to continue the war against the Thalmor when they are back at full strength. Which will most certainly be before the Thalmor are just due to the life cycles of Elves.
