This is a terribly tedious way to get a situation. Not many people are going to have the patience to do this for a large game.

It's only slightly tedious the first time. With some intermediate saves, you can save a lot of time if you plan to use the same "universe", say for a series of Trek scenarios (borg invasion, neutral zone trouble etc.)

That way you could test and edit your scenario. Designing an interesting scenario in one pass is hard.

Editing the scenario is merely a question of loading up one of your intermediate saves, and giving new build orders. If the forces of some empire are too weak at one point, just give them orders to move, and have all others sit idle till the ships arrive. Save as a new scenario Version.
And everything is guaranteed to be legal.
