And moreover, as a Dominion faction they'd get access to Dominion gear, and their "ultimate sets" would dispense (with grind) via STFs like they do for the KDF and UFP.

Well, I imagine that the story can be rewritten to tell it from the perspective of the Dominion.
Keep in mind, the Dominion is actually 2 centralized power bases, the Alpha Dominion and the Gamma Dominion.
And while they work towards towards a common goal, they function independently of each
other.
Given that the game is based in the Alpha Quadrant, your Dominion Captain would be an Alpha Dominion.
So, the mission could be rewritten along the lines of the Alphas having to contact the Gammas to resolve this issue to their mutual benefit.
And the Starfleet angle could be explained much the same way, you are negiotiating with the Federation to retrieve your Founder and they get their station back.
It's an alliance of convenience.
Also, it was stated in STO lore that the Alpha Dominion is not overtly hostile towards the Federation, they have a neutral stance.
So it's not improbable that they would work with Starfleet to their mutual benefit.
