It's hard for me to imagine the GSC losing a war to the Vixilian Imperial State even with the element of surprise, though it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility. I wonder if the Eldarisians would be above using the VIS as a sort of false-flag in order to make themselves look more appealing to the GSC Marko states? I don't know if the Eldarisians would actually want to provoke a war with the GSC, but a VIS invasion with covert Eldarisian backing could achieve the goal of scaring the GSC Marko states into switching sides while making the GSC look like the aggressor in the GSC-Eldarisian War.

That's only if the Eldarisians actually want a war with the GSC where they don't have to worry about the other galactic powers condemning Eldarisia. If they're not actually looking to start a war in their favor then that probably wouldn't work. Also, as we discussed before, I would think the Levisala would support the GSC regardless of who the aggressor is since they want to make sure Eldarisia does not become a credible galactic power.
