If people agree the test is fair and the randomization is fair, I’m not convinced it would not be stable after a generation or two. Pure sortition does retain that advantage, the IQ filter reduces this but the filter could be adjusted to increase stability. For example, say it took only the 50th percentile. At this level, coordination would be difficult as no one would want to publicly admit they weren’t eligible for sortition. Perhaps this would remain true if only the 90th percentile were selected, if not the 99th.

The question is whether people agree the whole system is fair.
Let’s imagine that I’m a person below the whatever IQ cutoff you prefer. Please explain to me (ELI5, preferably) how your proposed system is fair to me.
