I disagree on the trackers being townsided in this setup. What made this a curbstomp was the confirmation that after Zito, there was only one Mafia left. If the Mafia could've gotten a town lynch at any time during D2-D4 I think this would've been a much, much closer game. As it was, there was really only one "guilty" (on mnemonic) which he could've probably talked his way out of if he had just claimed "goo remover" instead of "lolcopwithgooremoverthatsalsorandom". The only other useful information was Iecerint being able to track the spread of yellow goo and Agar/Shadoweh essentially proving that there had to be a ninja, which was nice, sure, but not that great in a 25 player game.
Friday's only real hope really would have been to manipulate the target list of the plan so that he would end up being jailkept by farside, and then killing some PR. As it was, he was forced to Ninja-kill which then made it obvious D6+ that something had happened N5, and his Shadoweh kill made it obvious that a strongman effect was in play. If he'd avoided those, he might've had a chance.

And you may be right, but also consider that means that a Regular event card gets drawn instead. Always On? Dia De Los Muertos? Lots of those things.
Even accounting for the better odds of random lynch, any regular event is better for the mafia than any lylo event (except DDLM and DDLM:Lylo being the same).
