If Poe followed Purple Hair's orders, there's no guarantee that some of the other officers wouldn't kick off the mutiny. he wasn't the only one that was suspicious of the bizarre lack of apparent plan, which is why he managed to get a bunch of people to...rebel...along with him.

Except that the Fulmanatrix is no faster then the other Star destroyers, even with it seige canons there's no guarantees that he had the range on the guns.
When Poe let Rose and Finn do their plan that failed, they pretty much gave the information to the First Order by trusting the information to whats his face, so they could start blasting transports.
Poe might or might not have done right.
First of all
1) How many people died because of Poe's actions and how many did he save? Even from a straight math point of view over 40 people alone died on the bombers and more on the transports, and they saved what? A dozen people?
2) Second of all, no matter what people think, a Senior Commander doesn't need to share plans with a junior officer unless that junior officer is involved in the plan. There is security to consider, and on top of that, Poe was pretty much done flying for the day, they weren't going to engage the First Order Fleet.
3) By hijacking the ship, Poe delayed the execution of Holdo's plan, if he hadn't delayed it then its more likely that her plan works because the transports hadn't been revealed to the First Order.
He in fact did everything wrong, and flying the ski speeders in an unsuccessful attack and finding a crack in the wall doesn't really redeem him.
Hopefully in the next movie the opening crawl has
Meanwhile Ensign Poe is busy scrubbing toilets on the Millenium Falcon.
