Republics may benefit from the extra gold/tile but even with a temple, 3 luxuries in all cities, marketplaces and entertainers cities are still falling into disorder. Unlike monarchies which have MP to keep the ppl. content at least, replublics and democracies do not.
Keeping the ppl. content in republics

When you say cities do you mean pop 7 to 12? At size 12 with 3 lux and a market. plus temple should be fine.
A temple give one content and you start with one. Market + 3 lux add four happy faces. So you now have 4 happy from market, the temple takes the content and makes it happy, so 5 happy. One joker make one more happy and you are good to go.
6 happy can handle 6 sad. Now if you could find one more lux, so need no entertainers. You can drop the entertainer by using the lux sliders and could even get by with no temple, until you piled up war issues.

What you say is true, and yet ...
I prefer Republic to Monarchy. Why? Because I am not a warmonger. I don't need huge standing armies to defend/attack, so I put more into buildings and settlers and workers. When I switch to Republic, I have few, if any, cities larger than size 6. A Temple, three Luxes, and Marketplaces make 5 people content. Kick the Lux tax up a little, and I am celebrating WLTK Day all over the place!
And since I am not fighting (much) my War Weariness doesn't get bad enough to seriously affect me.

As a warmonger, I always go with Republic as soon as I can and ride it all the way until I can get Communism. If for some strange reason I am not at war during the industrial age I may switch to democracy, but rarely do i do that.
