Indeed, the main problem with my theory and the theory of anyone else is that the game doesn't give us really enough information in order to form a definitive answer of 'yes, this is what is happening' on such story elements like the angel alliance, Loki's manner of being alive or dead but still posessing his power etc etc (especially since the story isn't the main focus, even if its complexity is actually pretty deep in terms of lore and structure than most people give it credit for). The best I can really do is base my ideas on what the game presents, even if that can be interpreted in a different way by other people. Until such other information comes to light, there isn't much of a way to finalise the discussion.

Though I wouldn't go so far as to say Loptr beat Bayonetta (more like catches her off guard with his incredibly sudden attack since she holds her own against him just fine until then), I will admit that he does seem a little bit more than the angels can chew at this point in regards to power, especially when he posesses the Eyes for himself. Though they may be overconfident in a lot of their mannerisms as proven with their continued attacks against Bayonetta, even they would have to admit that Loptr would present a big obstacle to their own machinations if they were every going to try and doublecross him (if my idea is assumed to be accurate).

As for the fallout from Loki having destroyed the Eyes, that remains to be seen. The human world seems stable despite the cast's initial fears it would be destroyed without the Eyes in the epilogue, but there isn't really any indication about how this effects the power struggle between Paradiso & Inferno. If I had to guess, I would say that things die down somewhat since both sides would need to find some way to gain a larger dominance without the influence of the Eyes around to aid them.
