The only way this works is if Snoke was given oversight to the "resurrection/cloning"-process, and simply chose to ignore his masters wishes. He could have re-ordered the system to withhold any cloning activity unless or until he was killed or died.
Palpatine could have possibly cloned his "essence" and had it on standby in case of his demise, but there's nothing in canon to imply that he had that level of mastery over the force. In past examples of cloning and essence transfer, the transferring party usually had to be present though.

I don't like it for several reasons:

1) Anything that ****s with the OT should be off-limits. I'd like to think that Disney has learned their lesson on this, but probably not.

2) If you bring Palpatine back, you have to redeem Ren or we just end up with another case of perpetual apprenticeship like Anakin/Vader; always the apprentice, never the master. And if you do that, you have to make Kylo Ren both embrace and then turn against Palpatine in the span of one movie, and that would be complete shit.
OR, we end up with ANOTHER rebellion vs. empire scenario, and the first 3 films of the OT become pointless.
So, the Palpatine Plan for Epi 9 doesn't hold water for me.
