I don't agree with those that state that the Tau could take over the imperium,

1.because it's enormous

2. because the Tau do not have in there possession technology that could help them to conquer and unite such an empire.

3.because they also have to deal with the ever growing treath of the Tyranids.

4. because actually, the most efficient industrial system for a modern standing army entangle in a permanent war of attrition is the empire (with's many undeniable default like corruption,vastness,dictatorship,etc.). The Tau army and industry is not design to substain such a war, because they usually care about there losses.

5. Many human are fiercly xenophobic, for them being led by a Xenos would be has unthikable has an ork being led by a 'umies (tought some humans have been integrated inside the Tau society,but only in a few system). This profound sentiment of hostility would render the task for the outnumbered Tau of rulling this vast empire impossible.
