Yes Man ending will certainly be anarchic (as in absence of a state), but how much of it will be violent chaos as implied with “total anarchy” depends largely on Courier actions (or inaction). In what is imo the best case scenario for Mojave;

NCR and Legion are removed as threats.
Internal threats are neutralized (BoS can be even sent to Lost Hills bunker).
Police force is available (Securiton army, with upgraded OS).
Energy is available (Helios & Hoover Dam).
Enclave knowledge and technology is available (Arcade).
Friendly government in NCR (Hanlon).
Community with experience in self-organization (Westside).
Better than Legion ideologically, but that is a low bar. NCR is basically just libs wanting to re-establish the USA of old, so they are still evil.
Personal preference is kill House and take over using Yes Man. At least this way I can headcanon a good future.
This is basically the only way my NV runs end. I genuinely cannot stand even the idea of completing for the other three factions.
Doesn’t a Yes Man ending just lead to a wasteland in total anarchy with the courier noping out?
That hardly feels better then the NCR. I guess it allows someone to build something new, but it’s still total anarchy.
