I would never like to play with such strict rules regarding inheritance. I think in a decades challenge it should somehow fit to the time it is set in but I wouldn't mind to lose the family's surname if I made a female the heir. After all that would still be a legacy and I don't need any aristocratic succession rules.
I also don't like the "girls get the creative trait" rules. It doesn't make sense in my eyes. Even if society forced people to behave or present in a certain way it doesn't mean that their characters weren't as diverse as in modern times. And it could also be interesting to play a character that doesn't fit into the society's expectations at the time (I always randomize traits so I would let the game decide that for me).
I agree with you about the strict rules around traits as well. It is true that some of those traits were encouraged but individuals could have different personalities. There are a lot of stories from that time period about female characters who didn't fit into the times. Also, there was some variety among men depending on their social class and where they lived. I get the point but I think having some flexibility to enjoy your game is important.
