That’s … actually a pretty good pitch.
I think I would also split the character in combat to avoid having one player be idle for several hours or even sessions in case a very long boss fight happens.
Agreed, give a chance to flip at the beginning of every turn, since that’s when reactions and a lot of 1-turn effects end.
Also, to further reduce the chance of one player holding the character too long and to add a little fun tension: instead of a coin flip, in order to take over, the player not presenting makes an unmodified DC10 check that decreases by 1 with every failure and resets on a success.

Also makes sense that in higher stress situations like combat, they’d be fighting for control more frequently than when they’re chilling in camp.
