literally any system in which you know who is in charge upon a transition of government is better than any government where that issue must be settled by violence. "not having a civil war every 30 years" is just an incredibly powerful technology.
Absolute Monarchy usually does not last that long . For instance from Louis 14 start of personal rule ( two civil wars during is minority does not count as absolute ) 1651 to French Revolution 1789. That was parts three kings reigns.
