Hello!
I've been annoyed recently by stupidity of my vassal's choices in my recent mp game:
As Byzantine Empire I vassalized Circassia and fed them with Caucasian provinces. Guess what first Idea Set did they take? MARITIME! Poor small Circassia with a single coastal province wanted to dominate the Black Sea trade! They didn't take Religious or Defensive as their first choice. Later on they took Humanism ideas as 4th or 5th set, which has buggered me off completely, since for centuries they stayed in the same borders, all cultures were accepted and the only trouble they had were the conversion of some Muslim provinces.
In my another games:
Especially annoying those choices become when you release a vassal you are going to play with.
Honestly, I don't think that the choosing ideas for vassals will break the game. but it could add so much depth to the game. For example France vassalizes Brittany and lets them colonize instead of annexing or Austria creates a militaristic vassal from Serbia against Ottoman threat.
I think it would be fair that overlord had to spend it's MP to make vassals take ideas he wants.

In my another games:
- Armenian released vassal took Espionage Ideas as their first choice.
- Byzantium vassal took Maritime ideas.
- Brittany took Religious ideas as their second choice.
- Navarra (had been severely fed) didn't take colonization ideas until late game.
