IMO, not at all.
The Imperium contains 11,000 worlds, with trillions of inhabitants, and it takes years for a ship (and so, for an idea) to cross the whole 3I. It is simply not a monolithic power or cultural block like Star Wars Empire or feudal Japan.
When some new and disturbing idea raises the eyebrows of a powerful-enough noble (say, a sector duke), the new fad has already run through the local cultures and made room for something new.
