Yeah if you play the Stalin path then this is it I think. However when you play any of the other paths technically low “paranoia” makes it easier to launch coups and civil wars. Also I believe before No Step Back that not doing the purge would incite a Trot uprising.
Low paranoia is easier for starting the coup, but having higher paranoia means that more generals and advisors get the “Cowed by Stalin trait” meaning that they’ll 100% switch over in a civil war. Plus getting the paranoia high means you can cripple the army and air force to an absurd degree and make the coup much easier to accomplish.
IIRC the only thing that happens when “paranoia” reaches 100% when you play the historical path is a lot of people get purged
