It worked about as well as any other system, but in terms of fragility and sustainability it's probably above average when you look at historical dynasties and golden ages.

lol, a golden age for whom?
When the average person largely lived a shit life with wealth being hoarded into a hereditary nobility that basically could do whatever it wanted to the peasantry with impunity, and the peasantry just basically had to eat shit and take it, calling it an ‘above average system’ is fucking comical.
Human life has largely gotten better once decision-making got decentralized and power structures had accountability to the people they govern.

Insufficient definition and metric for what counts as "working". There are myriad possible ways of defining it, and some of the most difficult political problems stem from people not agreeing on which one should be used. Seems like you've solved this problem, though, so please share.
but in terms of fragility and sustainability it's probably above average when you look at historical dynasties and golden ages.
So it looks good at that when looking at the parts of history that make it look good at that?
