Yeah I don't really feel like Kefka is scheming to overthrow Gestahl like Kuja is to Garland

He just kinda does it because the urge and opportunity hit

It's more that Kuja and Kefka are motivated by power and their own ego. Kefka works with Gestahl because it's convenient for him and it enables him to capture Espers and get their powers. When Kefka realizes he can just have it all from the Goddess Statues, he goes for it and Gestahl becomes expendable.

And Kefka isn't necessarily motivated by destroying the world either. He's such an egomaniac that he actually believes he can destroy hope, dreams, etc. and that thought thrills him more than just physical destruction.
