Honestly I think the crypto/tech solutions are better.

If succession isn't clearly laid out, you get competing factions promoting different candidates. This often results in candidates incentivizing support by giving away sovereignty (lands, offices, tax rights, etc.) and outright wars of succession when stakes are high.

Plus it shifts the competition back to "better at gaining power" compared to "better at exercising power" but that kind of selection can work when the selectors are cohesive and don't defect for personal gain.

A king could be selected from an eligible class by 50 state governors (the king cannot himself be a current/former state governor), for instance. There's always skullduggery, but some incentive-alignment or firewalling can be done. In USA, 17th Am. was a mistake.
