Look, if you've got financial problems with a large empire and you don't want to go the State Property route, just put more cities into producing wealth. Or lower your research and have cities producing research.
I haven't gotten to the colony situation yet, but will soon. I have played warlords/BtS domination & UN* wins w/o State Property: while it isn't as comfortable, it's still easy (especially if you don't raze shrine cities).
The problem I see with PERMITTING only domination/conquer-type victories is you don't give the AI a chance. It should be your risk to permit space, UN, culture victories by the AI.
*with enough population between me and my vassals to assure victory.
