OK. Im going to give you my two cents.

Umbar was strong, perhaps not as strong as Gondor, but yeah, pretty strong. Why did the lower provinces only send like 500 troops to the siege of Minas Tirith? Because they were scared of the corsairs. Considering how large those provinces are, it would have taken quite a large force to scare them. Im not saying all the corsairs were beasts, they should be around Rohhrim-level armor and weapons. Those would be the average joes. The Black Numenoreans should be added, just as expensive shock troopers for Umbar. I agree, that the Numenorean blood has faded, but it is not gone. I think they would have powerful Lords and Barons, that all work together, under a central government. It would have limited power, yeah, but they would work together. I think the whole feel of Umbar should be faded splendor, but back on the rise.
