Problem 1: IoM has more men under arms and all "important" (as in for production) planets have sizeable SDF and PDF contingents, meaning they can easily bog down the Gal Republic Assaults. One Acclamator has ~ 16000 Clone Troopers your standard Hive World has a military in the millions.

Problem 2: Gal Repuiblic Navy has nowhere near the size to contend arms wise or manwise with the IoM.

Their capital ship is the Venator class, ~ 1100 meters and 7400 crew. that is simply a frigate in the IoM standards.

Problem 3: Access to manpower: the repuiblic is too split up and not all are military oriented, whereas the IoM is solely geared towards warfare.

Problem 4: putting Star wars and w40k into one universe, you get the warp for ftl travel.(which is even so accoding to wookiepedia)  thus you get all those nice chaos shenanigans on star wars ships, aka: one warp jump and they are all chaos infested hulks.

Problem 5: Blanks may be uncommon % wise but with a supply of thousdands of billions of people you will find a high enough number of them to actually put them into positions of need.

you think that an Emperor Titan is not worth protecting, especially if you can always expect "battle psykers" to be among enemy rankds? you think that blanks cannot be turned into servitors or simply taken aboard such machines?

and that is not even taking in the massive amount of firepower as advantage that the IoM offers.. they simply pound their opposition to dust and last i checked: you throw enough firepower against an area, you can vaporise a jedi.

also do not forget: jedi work in very small groups and there are surely not a lot of them. if we on the other hand, take imperial psykers and librarians, you probably have a higher number of those around.
