Judea was always a rowdy province, but I doubt the Empire would have made such a radical step for the sake of one province (relatively small and poor in resources). It would have been outweighed by disadvantages of converting vast sways of pagan provinces in the West and elsewhere.
this is a decent summary why it was popularised
