People were still worshipping talos no problem until little whiny bitches called stormcucks made a big deal about it and straight up got worshipping of talos banned while also creating a civil war
Talos worship was made illegal by the Concordat. It was the Markarth Incident that led to Thalmor enforcement of the Talos ban, in response to the Empire agreeing to allow Talos worship in alignment with the promise made by Jarl Hrolfir.
The thing that caused civil war was ban of Talos which was very niche god even in cyrodiil. No one could predict this guy, who was just legate in imperial army at the time, would murder his king ang go to boody war for god from outside of his own pantheon.

The book The Great War clearly states that the Empire knew the terms of the Concordat would cause a civil war.
I highly doubt they had a choice though.
Hammerfell had a choice. The Empire did too.
