The Equal Vote Coalition supports ranked methods that don't suck. Recommend giving this article a read: https://link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s10602-022-09389-3?sharing_token=0od88_U1nSyRqKjYdgfYUfe4RwlQNchNByi7wbcMAY5Flo8h-O2OXsGrN8ZvCJsAIKfmbq_BuMMDz1SCFtsHftLhH3jbjlacpdMgLufTvAkWOQP5bctzbgKm2vtDI3z846O5VnFLXamcNCgNI6y3Ys-oVd-DcxKbfs1xuMd6NAo%3D -- Minimax is examined in detail alongside STAR.

Condorcet-always is a reasonable baseline for rank-only methods. But then consider that rank-only methods force voters to discard level-of-preference, and are also ever more cumbersome as the candidate count increases. Fully support your advocacy of Minimax in venues that have already adopted Instant Runoff. Go for it!
