There is actually an unrelated meta-strategy here, whereby on all disputes one designated partner acquiesces to the wishes of the other. This behaviour is also far from unheard of in romantic partnerships. While this doesn’t seem very egalitarian, I am wondering if it actually becomes a reasonable trade-off for partnerships which face coordination problems on a regular basis.
“Partner A gives on on odd days, and Partner B gives in on even days” seems pretty reasonable. I suspect the more common version, though, is something like “Partner A yields on what music to listen to, Partner B yields on what to eat for dinner” and so on through a lot of fairly specific categories. Which might or might not slowly build resentment on some of these categories but still seems better than one partner always losing.
