My experience in EVE show that corp/alliance leaders are very reluctant to start empire wars. Even the hardcore PvP alliances like IT never bother with empire wars.
To me that's untapped potential. We need to do something to encourage more wars, not less. We need more PvP in empire.

What you seem to be advocating - gankers killing carebears in high sec - that can barely be considered PVP as it is. Yeah, shooting a bunch of targets who can't fight back, that's really impressive right there. These gankers are just carebear pirates who can't or won't hack it in low/null sec. I certainly wouldn't miss them.
Everyone can fight back. Just cause the carebears choose not to fight, it's their own fault, not the other side's.
And carebears have it way too easy in EVE, they grow fat and lazy, and we need to cull their herds a bit to keep their population healthy.

Why should they, the only presence they have is probably alts to move stuff around and make a little ISK on the side.
The fact that they feel necessary to limit their open presence in empire and resort to alts only proves how reluctant they are to PvP in empire.
People who like to PvP shouldn't hide behind alts in empire. It's carebearish.
Personally I don't like the whole alts thing. And I really don't like how extremely safe 0.0 alliance transports have become. In 0.0 it's all jump bridges and cyno jumps, in empire it's all alts.
Half the fun in military battles is destroying your enemy supply fleet. And how come EVE is like the only military game where there is no need for escort duty?
I just think we are missing out on some great gameplay here. We had some of it before CCP introduced jump bridges and cynos.

How about this:
When you declare war dec, pay the cost, you get to shoot THEM but they can't shoot YOU until you aggro. Kinda like can flipping mechanic.
And if THEY want to shoot you, they also pay the war cost, or they declare war mutual and neither of you pay anything.
That sounds a lot more fair in terms of costs.
