Pretty sure like most succession laws it will be based on what your culture allows?
Succession Laws are basically determined by Gender Doctrines. Some Cultural Traditions can also affect them. Most of default Succession Laws are Male Preference.
But I think Nomadic Succession Laws should be Martial sex Only. The Martial sex lie on Martial Custom and others. In the majority of Culture and Faith, Martial sex is Male.
For example, I am a Mongol Tengri ruler, which women can not be Commanders or Baghaturs and Martial sex is Male so my Succession Gender Law should be Male Only. For another example, I am a Khazar Tengri ruler, which women can be Commanders or Baghaturs and Martial sexes are both Male or female, so my Succession Gender Law should be Male Preference or Equal.

Everyone should be male only at game start, but ck3 is worse than ck2 for gender law, so if male only, you cant pass any claims on via the female line, which is dumb, so it has to be male preference, which gives us 1 year old duchesses when she has a 30 year old uncle

For Noamdic Rulers, the 1 year old duchess would be more inappropriate. A person who cannot fight clearly cannot lead a tribe.

Nor is tribal leadership automatically guaranteed
If anything, successions that put a kid on the throne were the exception rather than the norm.

The regent widows of the Mongol khagans are listed as rulers in their own right on the rulers list found in the appendix of Chinese dictionaries though. But then again, first, they are regent widows, which is entirely unnecessary in Crusader Kings, where teleportation tech has been refined and mass-employed; secondly, a Chinese dictionary is hardly an academic source for Mongol history and nomadic succession law.

I mean, in a Nomadic Realm, if women can not be Commanders or Baghaturs due to their Culture and Faith, they should not Inherit Titles or Claims.
Actually we should have female warriors too by default ,they are better attested than shieldmaidens.Also while not Mongol,there are cases of steppe tribes having female rulers case in point queen Boa of the Sabirs who even made a trip to Constantinople during the reign of Justinian.

I mean, considering they've been bordering the Mongols for a long time.
Surely they would've spend a lot of time studying them?
There are, naturally, Chinese-language Mongol studies. It's just that these academic results appear as papers, monographs and general history, not appendices in the back of dictionaries.

I think that once there will be government revork, we need more sophisticated succesion laws. For example brother before daughter, but women still eligible to inherit etc. Current state is immersion breaking and ahistorical in many cases.
