In Episodes IV-VI, I think the Empire was portrayed as bad mainly due to their execution of power.
I think the Empire's ideals of order and stability don't seem so bad in theory. Even the Mandolorian TV show (which was set around that time) supports this perspective.
The virtue of stability is entirely dependent on the virtue of the system you are stabilizing.
