Sounds like a series of good ideas.

Few Notes:

Some Russian industrial plants were so outdated in some regard or another that they actually had to stop overnight to keep the machines from breaking. Helps to make factories do that, but remember that not all could do it.

A constitutional monarchy would be the result. Though, I have to doubt slightly if the Czar would have went along with it. More likely, his son gets crowned, or his brother gets crowned with Nicholas' son as the heir.

The war would probably end sooner than otl in this scenario. Sometime early in 1918, the American numbers would reach a tipping point, and then the Germans get forced back from there. Call it June of 1918, or so.
