The problem is that other systems risk constantly overruling the minority opinion which IMHO if often a bigger systemic risk than adding some additional consultations.

Neither the US nor China are particularly good examples as they are not a relatively recently created loose umbrella construct like the EU.

You could also do strategies like preferential voting, issue-based weighted voting, or two thirds majority instead of one more than half, if minority opinion is still important in a case while still mitigating the deadlock issues of absolute consensus.
