Incomplete Eva Series
The eva series was incomplete as we all know. Why could instrumentality happen then? Or is that why Shinji was able to reject instrumentality, which I assume enabled everyone else to reject it as well.
Seele talks about the Dead Sea Scrolls and everything going according to plan. So I take it the Scrolls say something about the evas, angels, instrumentality, and how everything was going down, so why could it be done/was done without the complete series. Does anyone have some light to shed on this?

Technically speaking, none of the MP Evas were necessary for Instrumentality to happen. They just made it proportionally easier for SEELE to control it.

Pretty much this. Gendo's interferences with the original scenario (i.e. stealing Adam, throwing away the Lance, and getting Unit-01 to take in the S2 organ) forces SEELE to speed up the production of the series to use them before Gendo can start Third Impact himself. Although the exact uses for each variable and piece of each scenario is unclear, every aspect of the MP Evas is copied. Units 00, 02, 03, and 04 were from Adam just like the MP series, the Lances are replicas of the original, and the Dummy Plug System is not exclusive to the MP units. They were just substitutes for Gendo's interferences.

Well, after they couldn't easily use one of the Angels they needed the MPEs. That massive amount of S2 power had to come from somewhere.

Possibly, but once Lilith was no longer available 01 wasn't an option since they needed her to be Lilith's replacement.

Wait, what? I was always under the impression that the primary trigger for 3I was still the merging of Adam and Lilith, thanks to Rei and her floaty ATF trick. It was GNR that did all the planetary soul-collecting stuff during 3I even before Unit-01 got absorbed, right?

Not true. The Angels never showed any ability to conjure up Sephiroth, and yet they were equally capable of causing 3I.
Besides, going on the assumption that they were just there to conjure Sephiroth, the fact that there are ten Sephiroth would make the series of nine MPEs "complete", which as we know is not the case.

I'm pretty sure the Sephirot itself is just SEELE being silly jews. The real significance was the big ass AT Field it was made out of which called the Lance...somehow. If the Lance was never MOOOOOON'd, then it'd be entirely unnecessary.

More accurately, it's the joining of Adam's S2 power, which was needed to conjure a world-wide Anti-AT Field, and Lilith's Chamber of Guf which could gather up all the souls that were freed after the Anti-ATF had been deployed. This could be done in a few ways, such as using The Angels and Lilith, or a substitute for The Angels (like the S2-equipped MPEs) and 01 who was (somehow) kindred with Lilith. GNR actually interrupted the 3I process in progress and took over from there, integrating the power of the MPEs into herself, and allowing Shinji the choice of whether or not to continue or stop.
The Sephiroth was likely a symbolic way of expressing the concept of MOARPOWER, plus the MPEs connecting with 01 and, later, GNR.

In other words, the Fruit of Life and the Fruit of Knowledge, as told by Fyyutski (spelling his name sucks) in EoE. By having both, GNR became a god, and was able to summon the Tree of Life, while the MPE's alone could not.

Well, it's debatable what the Fruit of Knowledge is, but unless it's consciousness/will/choice it's hard to figure out how it would be necessary for 3I and Instrumentality.
