My experience has been as long as pragmatists and glory hound like you enough, they generally vote with you anyway.

Also of course try to avoid appointing people who will hate you even after the"powerful vassal not on council" malus is missing the councillor bonus is added (ie more than -50).

Opinion is important. I believe if the councillor has a negative option of you, they'll be discontent.

Traits are important as well. A Trusting character is more likely to be a Loyalist than a Deceitful character is.
