Fact of the matter is, Elpis in and of itself was inconsistent. Emet expresses concerns about Kairos when it's first mentioned, but later after he's a victim of said device decides it's not important? The Echo scene with Venat probably shouldn't have happened at all because it throws a wrench into everything following it.
Emet was more than skeptical actually. While he does investigate the issue he states plainly that he doesn’t believe we were telling the truth even after Ktisis. On top of that, if disclosure was the plan then as was pointed out Venat would be having to convince the Convocation of Hermes actions as well, to which he would obviously argue against.

This leads to several problems. First this would sow discord in the Convocation at the worst possible time. Second it would deny the Ancients their foremost expert on celestial aether currents at a moment when that field is integral to survival, and third it could potentially sow panic as people find out about the fate of other stars and the threat of Meteion. The benefit of disclosure rapidly diminishes with each additional problem.

And one other small disagreement. Hades dismissed the importance of the lost memories, not the act of having Kairos used on him. He actually seemed quite angry about the latter, the former he doesn’t have any reason to think much of.
