I'm pretty sure that, at the time, Odo was seen as a neutral party by all sides, basically because he was considered an outsider by all sides, but it's been a long time so I might be remembering that wrong.

This is it exactly. And that's exactly why he was the best possible option for the role he was in. Anyone else really would have had to fully collaborate with the Cardassians. Odo was allowed to be as neutral as possible and seen as such by everyone. He wasn't even asked to do a lot of things that a Bajoran in the role would have been forced to do.

You can't be neutral when one of your duties is working for a nazi. That makes you a nazi. It is a highly contagious disease. Dukat liked having Odo around as an arms length wetworks guy for whenever he had something he wanted to keep his hands clean/have a fall guy over, but Odo still brought people to Dukat nonetheless. And many collaborators irl have been hanged for less. Odo should have been fired, by all rights, and exiled from Bajoran space along with all the rest of the minor collaborators. Especially as a non-Bajoran, since they are not a multi ethnic society. Claiming you are neutral doesn't make you neutral in a war, not when you work for one of the main generals of it.
