(incidentally, one could easily argue that the Breton independentists have a somehow similar jacobine view of a unified Brittany, with respect to the Gallo territories of modern Brittany)

Firstly, to hear you, people will think it's the Breton nationalists who killed this dialect. It's absolutely wrong. This dialect is dead naturally because nobody cares about it.
Secondly, the major part (if not all of them) of people who are in Gallo associations are the leftist independentists.
And finally, in administrative point of view, I don't think there are people who want a centralized Brittany with Roazhon/Rennes or Naoned/Nantes as political center. That should be more federative.

For example, since Breton independentists demand the indepence of Brittany, and since this Brittany that they demand includes a Gallo language identity, have they campaigned for it like they've done for the Breton language identity?

Why "this Brittany" ? There is one and only Brittany.
Contrary to many countries in Europe our borders stayed stable during 11 centuries, except for some little area in the south-east.
About Gallo or Britto-roman, I didn't see many people protest against the Breton language in Eastern Brittany where the Breton was spoken, except the free-mason (most often even not Breton). Will they (free-masons and others) protest because the language used in French administration is not Gallo but French ? Will they protest for Gallo schools ? No, they just protested because there are some road signs in Breton - firstly in Eastern Brittany and after in Western Brittany.
It's not at all sincere and constructive. For this reason, I think it's just an instrument of destabilization for Breton language like the “Breton nationalists during 39-45” is for Breton nationalism.
