While the hereditary system works very well for western europe it certainly doesn't work for a centralized kindgom like the Roman Empire.
In my 1066 playthorugh I've seen absurd things like Nubia inheriting territories in Nubia and Thracia.
If in real life some foreigner had to inherit land in the empire it would have inherited it INSIDE the byzantine system becoming a subject of the emperor. When a territory was cut out from the mainland, like it happened in Sardinia, it will gain independence but slowly over some generation.
Also many other things like the levies system is kind of anti-historical and so on but it all depends on the fact the byzantine empire was way different than western europe.

I'd be happy to switch the Byzantine to Imperial Election system, but with an marked bonus if your a Born to the Purple.

Also, no Opinion Penalty for Usurpers because usurpation of power was not seen as illegitimate in Byzantine society.
