I would enjoy it, maybe the matter of an alliance being brought up later? As X is very different from how his father lead the SM, as he is treating it more or less as a yakuza clan would act. He is strengthening his own people, while keeping the contracts, legal and otherwise, and yes private security would be a main asset for them you are right as they have the money to throw around for it. X is way less conservative than his father was, it's just taken time away and time to himself for him to actually form his own thoughts on the other gangs.
