I think the preparation will work. The biggest threat to the 50,000 year military buildup that I can see would be objections from other races unacquainted with the Reaper threat, but I think that, given the fact that the first three races of the next cycle will be aware of the Reapers' existence, the objections will be unsuccessful. Those three will likely be the galactic leadership, so they can overrule the objections. Also, Liara's databases must be taken into account. There will be concrete evidence available to any naysayer races.
