But jointly constructing a successor with compromise values and then giving them the reins is something humans can sort of do via parenting, there’s just more fuzziness and randomness and drift involved, no?

I’m pretty sure nobility frequently arranged marriages to do exactly this, for this purpose, to avoid costly conflicts.
