Pretty minimal, I would expect. The only known worshippers of Lodril in Pavis or Prax are a small minority among the Agimori. Even among them it is a minor cult.
Of course, bearing in mind recent controversy about the dreadfully GodLearnerised nature of the Lodril cult writeup, it may well be that the Agimori don't call their god Lodril, and don't get all his magics. I suspect they call him something along the lines of 'Grandfather' (something-Baba probably). I think they do get his Firespear though!

Other fire deities - Sun Hawk (worshipped among some minor tribes particularly (Ostrich?), little more than a spirit cult to others)? Oakfed the wildfire (associated cult of Waha, probably a common spirit cult in many tribes, summonable in person in times of war by Praxian shamans). The only other fire deities I can think of are the star deities, including Yelorna and the Twin Stars. Nomad Gods had the Pole Star worshipped in Prax as well.
And yes, ZZ does still have Yelmalios fire powers. The ZZ cult has limited access (double POW cost in RQ2) to fire elementals through a sub-cult.

The rebel aspects are to do with the Monster Man sub-cult, which I don't think exists outside of Peloria. Monster Man keeps all the old bad things (including rebellion) in check, and when Lodril lets him he lets it all out. The Lodril/ Monster Man story is one of the central myth cycles of the Pelorian Lodril cult (and variants, such as the Turos cult).
As recently suggested here (by Joerg?) the Monster Man cult is probably not present outside Peloria, and in the Holy Country they probably replace it with the Lodril fighting Argan Argar mythology.
