Interesting, I always thought of Provinces in the Nilgaardian Empire as those in the Roman Republic and later Empire, ruled by governors instead of kings or dukes, that's why i thought there was this distinct aspect to Ebbing and Maecht maintaining its previous status.

Also, wasn't Caldwell only palatine of Angren? Just finished Thronebreaker and I don't recall aep Dahy granting him any power over Lyria and Rivia, he rather wanted him out of the Kingdom. And I would regard palatines as officials who would rule a land in behalf of someone else, beeing appointed instead of inheriting the land, at least in the context of the Nilfgaardian Empire, you know what I mean?

PS, the only well known (to an extent) Palatinate that i recall would be Pfalzgrafschaft bein Rhein, inside the Holy Roman Empire, and with a complex ruling system in itself, as being ruled by a Count. This would suit your proposition as Caldwell was a Count.
