Snoke being Plagueis would have broken the entire Chosen One Prophecy just as much as the return of Palpatine did. Having Snoke being from a new dark side order that wasn’t the Sith was one of the better things the sequels did.
one thing to bare in mind is that Plagueis was successful in his goal to have everlasting life. He figured out how to reverse his aging back to his prime and how to rapidly re-generate from injuries. He even figured out how to use the force to just instantly kill his enemies
It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to believe he was expecting palps to kill him soon and would have some sort of contingency plan to go into hiding for awhile and gather up a power base to fight his old apprentice. And then waited for the empire his apprentice created to fall before trying to take over the galaxy with the power base he built up
I’m not sure you can have a recon when there was no overarching story.
Also, Im not really sure where the third movie was supposed to go anyways. There wasn’t really any “Resistance” left and Ben’s goal was to “rule the galaxy” which is kinda open-ended.

… But Snoke was a puppet of Palpatine. Sheev had some backup clones to replace him with just in case
That was a retcon that Abrams introduced at the last minute.
