I don't buy it. For two reasons really. The lesser on is that unlike Homeline, Centrum isn't actually obsessed with staying secret - it's all but stated that they've even explained who they are to other worldlines they're attempting to bring into their civilization.
But the main one is that avoiding the horror of anything like the Final War ever again is essentially the core of their national ideology - a group coming out and saying a Final War is *ever* a desirable thing is essentially spitting on their most sacred cow. Centrum is maybe pragmatic enough to stand aside and let a Final War happen - they lack the resources to save everybody much as they might wish to - though even then I'd expect at least some minimal effort. But causing one themselves? No. Not without splitting the Interworld Service in two.
