I don't think that by more anarchic Tolkien meant Lilith. The Entwives' fatal flaw wasn't that they were lovers of order and plan, but that they refused to accept or value the wildness the Ents loved. By more anarchic, I think he meant that they themselves should be less willing to attempt to impose their will on others. Perhaps Tolkien means to imply that had they welcomed the Ents into their gardens, mud and wildness and all, and created something new, bigger than the wilderness or the garden, they might have all survived together and in strength.
