What allies? All the council races are allies between themselves. Doesn't matter if none else believe in Shepard (because even humans don't believe). What own problems? Even if they don't believe in the Reaper existence, it is obvious that those machines will not stop at Earth, so they are a threat to everyone. About own problems: The myth of the council don't help a race if they have a personal problem start with the quarians. After the geth exiled the quarian people, they never left the Perseus Veil, so invade such large territory to destroy countless machines could trigger a war. In the case of Collector's abdution, they don't interfere by two motives: All the colonies are in Terminus System and no one else but Shepard could track down aliens that nobody knew anything.
