I think veto powers as part of a system of checks and balances are good in moderation, but add to many of them and you end up with a stalemate.
Yes, there’s actually some research into this area: https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt7rvv7 “Veto Players: How Political Institutions Work”. The theory apparently suggested that if you have too many “veto players”, your government quickly becomes unable to act.
And I suspect that states which are unable to act are vulnerable to major waves of public discontent during perceived crises.
