While it is a bit of a silly concept, the conventions have mostly worked for two hundred years, which is hardly fragile.
I’ve met one or two experts on British constitutional law, and their opinion was essentially that unless the action is overwhelmingly popular, the Monarch deciding to stop following convention would be the end of the monarchy.
i will say it at least prevents the angloids from handwringing about The Constitution™ all the damn time like yankees do. Though personally I’d prefer to live someone where they bothered to write down their foundational rules at some point, its not like having a written constitution is some universal good
