Protestant victory won't work, ONLY religious peace will let Orthodox/Anglican/Hussite be emperor, and Reformed only has one other way that relies on the AI cooperating.

Can't you also make HRE hereditary and then switch, or was that removed?

Making the HRE hereditary before the Religious Leagues form instantly declares Religious Peace, but are you really even playing a Hussite game at that point?

That depends on how fast you make the HRE hereditary. Since some methods still do it before 1500, I don't think saying that this method precludes a "Hussite game" would necessarily be accurate. Besides, OP wants HRE emperor as Hussite and didn't give details beyond asking if it's possible. So this is something to consider.

Lambda has a youtube video on it, there are actually a few ways to do fast revoke in current patch, plus some others in earlier patches.

Not sure about current patch, but the Chinese player "Terry" on YouTube was doing a variant of it for his early 1 tag in very recent videos, should either be last patch or current. It's hard to keep up with the changes.
Terry's run was on 1.31.5. 1.32.0 introduced the following change:
And I think that this prevents the lambda revoke
Your best hope for a hussite Bohemia Emperor is to have the protestant league be very weak so it never declares war on the catholic league, meaning religious peace will trigger after 50 years. Try to prop someone else up as Emperor (Saxony or Palatinate or whoever), and then ally the Ottos and France and then join the Catholic league when the leagues form. Ottos and France are historical rivals with Austria so they'll almost always join the Protestant League if Austria is Emperor but if you can get them to join the Catholic league by joining and not having their historical rival as emperor then the protestant league will never declare war since they'd have no chance.

But that doesn't work. If the league's never fire than Catholic becomes the domanint faith. You have to either get it hereditary or force a peace of Westphalia.

Why? Protestant victory doesn't allowed other reformation Christian denominations to be elected.

A protestant victory can actually still result in religious peace, it depends on the treaty. As long as "religious supremacy" isn't among the terms (say, the winning side prefers to take land instead) then it's still possible for other Christian denominations to gain emperorship thereafter.
Taking charge of the protestant league gives the opportunity to secure religious peace as I mentioned above - but you can't do that as Hussite. The most reliable approach may be to only join the league war through condottieri (to support whichever side is losing, so that the warscore doesn't go high enough to enforce that condition) unless you're forced to join the protestant side to make their leader declare the war in the first place.
It's easier to complete all reforms to hereditary then go hussite over gambling for a religious peace.
