The thing is, even Palps can't set up utterly elaborate Traps out of nowhere. If he had any Idea this was gonna happen, any Suspicion at all that we might know the truth about him and his plans, we would be dead already.
We caught him off guard with this. Don't make the mistake of assuming he is all-knowing, infallible and has a Plan for literally every Situation. Sure, he may escape, but he is not turning this around into a total Win for himself.
It really, REALLY isn't. Only the second outcome is good in any way.

The problem is, there is ONE thing that he almost certainly has some sort of contingency for. The Jedi finding him out early.

Yes...the Jedi finding out.
But did he expect them to be packing the Army he paid for to kill them?
Okay, but somehow, I don't think he expected it to happen this way, with evidence for what he did and with the Jedi doing it legally instead of just marching into his Office themselves ala Episode 3, not to mention them being backed up by his OWN ARMY that he ordered created to kill them.
And even if he did, unlike the Situation in Episode 3, it's gonna be much harder to spin this one in a way that makes him look like an innocent Victim.

That is the big catch. And why we have a chance, since whatever contingencies he has is gonna be running against a suprise clone army that was SUPPOSED to be his own army.
While different, the ball is in the Jedi's court when it comes to not leaving a glaring weakness for palps to smash.
He is adaptable but we also are a very significant divergence, and combined with the Jedi possibly handling the arrest smartly, Palps certainly could be in some real trouble, even if the trees in the temple gave Palps forewarning.
And most of our Forces are still there.
I doubt taking Kamino would be that easy. Not to mention that while Palpatine may have a little forewarning of this all happening, Dooku has absolutely NONE.

The best bet may be to have certain members like Yoda and Obi-wan go to see the chancellor. Partly because yoda, being the best in the order can actually contest palps on even footing if I remember OTL right. 🤔

We are still going to be fighting a war here, even if its shape isn't known. We just need to pray the Jedi are smart enough to drop twenty of their best, including Yoda himself, on Palpatine's face. But I also suspect that all of this was in fact within Palpatine's plans.
We'll find out that this was his idea all along.

No. That Idea is ridiculous.
If Palps had known about this all along, he would've killed us long before we ever got to Coruscant.
Palpatine is neither infallible nor all-knowing. He does not have a minutely detailed Masterplan that makes him come out on top no matter what happens for every single Situation. And we should not pretend that he does. He is good, but he is not this uber-powered GOD-Level of good.

One thing of note would be that the Jedi haven't yet lost all those members who would die on Geonosis in Ep2 or the war that follows that battle.

In fact, in canon there were quite a few not as planned bits, small but noticeable. Just, he is good at adapting to the situation, and some incidents, like the otl attempted arrest, turned out to be a blessing in disguise. He isn't infallible, and that ironically is part of why he is dangerous.

Yeah especially seeing as we just threw a big spanner into his plans, I expect him to react in a typical sith fashion to being caught (i.e. lash out and fight).

We have him in our sights and Sidious is one of the slimiest and sneakiest Sith around. If he goes to ground there's no telling when or if we can catch him again. Not to mention if Dooku isn't apprehended and therefore still has some access to his resources.
I know it goes against the want to play things safe, but Sidious even having a chance go survive this encounter simply should not be allowed, and if that means confirming for ourselves that he dies? All the better. A few hundred commandoes and the best damn Bounty Hunter in the galaxy (debatable) can help the odds somewhat here.
