Have we some reason to think he'd be sloppy enough to not cover his tracks?

Sure, As Ebenezar said in the trial:
--- Quote ---“Working on the evidence Dresden found,” Ebenezar said, “Warden Ramirez and I searched Peabody’s chambers thoroughly not twenty minutes ago. A test of the inks he used to attain the signatures of the Senior Council for various authorizations revealed the presence of a number of chemical and alchemical substances that are known to have been used to assist psychic manipulation of their subjects. It is my belief that Peabody has been drugging the ink for the purpose of attempting greater mental influence over the decisions of members of the Senior Council, and that it is entirely possible that he has compromised the free will of younger members of the Council outright.”

Looking for evidence must have been Ebenezars first priority.
I do not think it was sloppyness. He needed the stuff and probably a lot of it to do that huge scale mental manipulation. He had to keep it close and hidden in plain view.
Sterling Rat:
I don't think Eb will survive the BAT... I also believe that, at some point, Harry will be sent to get Mother Winter's cane back.
Eb, as Blackstaff, is allowed to use mind magic... We will find out that Eb rewired Harry's brain in Hog's Hollow after the incident with Justin. He has been asked a couple times why he does what he does and he doesn't really give a good answer - I think they were trying to clue him in that his brain was altered. I also think that Eb influenced Susan's thinking to keep Maggie away from Harry, since Eb was with them during Dead Beat and I doubt that was a coincidence.
I think Eb will succumb to the corruption of Dark Magic and the Outsiders, causing Mother Winter to send Harry after him.
Disclaimer: I have been wrong each and every time I have predicted anything. If I said Monday would be followed by Tuesday, I would expect the flow of time to suddenly change just to make me wrong. Jim Butcher has come up with better stuff than me every time I think I know what's going on, so I'm sure that trend will continue and I look forward to finding out how wrong I am.

I don't know that Eb ever met, or knew, Susan. How would he even know about Maggie Jr if he didn't know about Susan?
Sterling Rat:
Sure, but that would mean that Ebenezer assisting the Fellowship during Dead Beat was just a coincidence. Or a Red Herring.
It is completely reasonable that after Eb lost track of Harry as a child, he could have taken magical steps to monitor any future offspring.
It probably won't happen that way because Jim is a professional writer with good ideas and I am a data specialist who has only ever had three original ideas... and two of those sucked. But if I keep guessing, I will be right someday.
