Yoda was the light sides version of Sidious at the time, he was peerlessly powerful in the force, though on the other side of things, he like the Jedi were grossly misguided and didn't understand the enemy that they faced. The Sith had hidden away for a 1000 years, learning everything about the Force and its power and learning about the Jedi. So the Jedi had stagnated and fallen to corruption. Its why the Force literally abandoned them. Remember their ability to use the Force was compromised. This happened to Palpatine later on when his own arrogance blinded him.
Yoda thought he could march into Sidious' office and deal with him like the Jedi had dealt with the Sith in the past. Instead he found a Sith who was basically a black hole in the Force.
Mace never had a chance, it was enough that Sidious basically fought the best Swordsman the Jedi had ever seen. But that he toyed with Mace in the end to help in the seduction of Anakin to the Sith. Like I said, I don't mind that Yoda survived, but was humbled. But any other lesser Jedi like lets say Kenobi or Mace needs to be dead.

Okay. But in the time period of this show, that doesn't mean they have to be dead yet.
All your points about the fall of the Jedi and Yoda specifically don't really matter. The fact is (as you even mention) obviously some Jedi survive the initial strike of the order, likely being on the run for years before being hunted. I just don't see why Mace can't be one for a couple scenes.
For the record, I think that scene between Mace and Sidious sucks for all the reasons the prequels are bad. Awesome ideas with awful execution.
- The other two Jedi that were there to arrest Sidious went down like clowns. Sidious is the ultimate but like, come on. You're Jedi Knights still.
- The dialogue between Sidious and Windu is peak Star Wars bad.
- I don't see why they had to make Sidious have this ridiculous deformation. He didn't look like that in the originals. He just looked like really old man with no soul. They decided to give him a scrotum head for no reason.
- Anakin should have pushed Mace out the window. Or straight up Dooku'd him. Yeah he cut off his hand, but it should have been the true turning point for him and straight murdering a former master for his new one would have beena way better show of power by Sidious IMO.
TL;DR. I don't think bringing back Windu in this series mitigates any of the lore of Star Wars and that even Star Wars doesn't take it that seriously.
