I agree with most of this but the part about Akainu being investigated by Sword because he might've been plotting with Kaido sounds way too far-fetched.
I doubt Akainu hating Dragon is anything personal and is just part of his Absolute Justice philosophy of dealing with pirates and other enemies of the goverment.
Same reason he sunk the evacuation ship at Ohara, killed marines who he thought "don't believe in justice" and why he was so adamant on killing Ace.

But let's think about some Hints
Sword is a Secret Marine Force, their Captain is X-Drake who had a Father who betrayed Marines, they recruited Koby & they seem to work against WG, so it's obvious that Sword's Ultimate Goal is to make Marines better & free of corruption (Koby, Drake, Helmeppo all witnessed Marine Corruption, so it's obviously the Main Drive of this Squad)
Now let me ask you, they are investigating who? a Captain? a Vice Admiral? Obviously not, cuz X-Drake can easily ask someone like Aokiji or Garp or Sengoku to fire someone of such Rank, but there is a Rank that even a Fleet Admiral can't fully command alone & that's "Admirals"
Oda made sure to add a Scene where he showed us Sengoku requesting Aokiji to be the New Fleet Admiral from Kong who works in Mary Geoise, so it's clear that only WG can determine who gets to be an Admiral or Fleet Admiral & who gets removed.
This would perfectly justify the formation of Sword that tries to investigate Admiral Rank Marines
We've seen Pre-TS that X-Drake was already planning to join Beasts Pirates to Investigate meaning that whoever he is Investigating is already working for Marines, is it Sengoku? No he Resigned, is it Aokiji? No, he resigned, is it Fujitora or Ryokugyu? No, they joined much later.
So that leaves us with only Akainu & Kizaru
What does Oda show us then? Koby who only joined Marines recently managed to join a Secret Special Force?
What did he do to prove that they can trust him? He proved himself during MF when he gave that Speech against Akainu, which is very convenient tbh. Oda goes even further & Hints that the newly Introduced Female Marine of Sword is most probably Akainu's Daughter but she is nothing like him Personality wise
What else happened? Oda could have simply made Akainu a Fleet Admiral, Aokiji refuses to work for him & resigns, end of story.
Why make Sengoku suggest Aokiji as Fleet Admiral to create a Rivalry with Akainu?
It's to show us that a lot of High-Ranking Members of WG & Marines wanted Akainu as Fleet Admiral instead, you think they were simply thinking "I prefer Akainu, he is cooler or smarter"? Ofc not, this is a Hint that there is some Corruption going on inside Marines & WG
And by Corruption, i mean they want a New Change in Rulership, a New Government, a New World where it's the Marines who rule, not Celestial Dragons whom Oda made sure to show us that Akainu doesn't really respect (For example even though he has same Justice as Lucci, he doesn't care about CDs the way Lucci does), so what kind of "Absolute" Justice Akainu wants? He wants Total Control
Now when we look at Wano Arc & we confirmed Drake being a Spy, there were many guesses about the nature of his Mission, what did he spend two years doing among Beasts Pirates? Was he looking for Poneglyphs? Was he spying on their Military Power? Was he trying to Assassinate Kaidou? Was he trying to Save someone? ... etc
Wano Arc ended & all those Guesses were wrong, Drake didn't try to get anything from Beasts Pirates nor did he reveal his MIssion even when Kaidou Lost, even when his Cover was blown, even when nothing about Beasts Pirates matter anymore, unless he was investigating something that didn't happen yet
What did Kaidou plan & didn't happen? His War Project against World Government
So when we put two & two together, it's clear to me that Drake was investigating Kaidou's Plan to take down WG & who are his Secret Allies, and as i explained above, it was none other than Akainu & whoever are supporting him to overthrow WG
Oda even went further & made Kaidou's Final Signature Attack a Magma Dragon which is extremely convenient, and he made sure to show us that Kaidou's Plan was a Secret & he refused to reveal to even Big Mom, justifying why Drake failed to get information for more than 2 Years
And finally, we were shown another Connection between Akainu & Bonney who is also related to Kuma, CDs & Revos (Whom Akainu clearly showed Strong Hate to, which is very convenient again). Do you know what Akainu told Bonney? He said i felt shivers when i heard you "Escaped" & she was angry at him
This indicates that Akainu really needs or cares about Bonney & she hates him for it, suggesting that he is using her for a great cause, and we saw that Gorosei said Blackbeard captured some Supernova, indicating that they don't really care or know about Bonney, so she wasn't imprisoned by WG, but Akainu himself
Anyway, all of these are Hints & Convenient Details that build up towards Akainu being Secretly Plotting against WG & he isn't shown doing much cuz he is waiting for the right moment & that's why he needs Pirates help & that's why he made a Deal with Kaidou (I have very strong evidence why i believe Akainu & Kaidou are Allies, but i will leave it for another Arc)
