I don’t get what is the issue with rotating cylinder and stability. As I imagine the cylinder, it has radius << length, thus his axis of rotation will be the one with the smallest possible moment of innertia and thus should be stable.
Dzhanibekov effect applies only to 2nd principal axis so should be relevant only for cylinders with radius similar to length.
