As of right now the game had been pretty broken with many major powers going into mountains of debt, creating an odd situation where allying major powers is largely pointless as they will never, ever aid you because their massive debt is a huge negative reason they don't want to go to war;

Can you make it so the AI either ignores or cares a lot less for its debt when called into war as an ally, at least until you manage to make a fix for the AI that doesn't make supposed richest countries in the world like The Ottomans and Castile go into over 20k in debt for reasons of AI ineptitude? Because those 20+ thousands of debt don't seem to realistically affect their power. Ottomans still roll over all of europe in the 1500s with no problem despite any debt they might have, the same potentially being true for Castile and Austria, and any other power that manages to hold onto its status.

Historically the french revolution happened -because- of how much france didn't care for its debt given the chance to humiliate its rival, England. This never did work in EU4, which is why you changed the revolution system. Can you make the debt change as well? Thank you.
