You can't prevent events unless you play the game to just focus in keeping the estates' influence low.
Ok. Let's assume for a moment that there are non-neglectable cases where this happens. And we all agree that this is a bug. So for gods sake: Crash the game if you are playing Prussia and you get an event that will bring you into noble power.

Sorry, i'm not sure what you meant with that event. The point is that if the nobles (or any other estate i suppose) comes to power, after curtailing them you won't get the Prussian government back.
This was the only time i couldn't find a way to prevent the disaster, and it had to be with Prussia. Since my campaign was all about testing this new government form, i quited it, and won't play the tag until this is fixed.

It is a bug. But extremely minor issue.

Preventing estate disaster is very easy, and even AIs rarely suffer from it. How many people suffer from noble estate disaster with Prussian monarchy? How much this bug breaks certain gameplay? How can we say this issue as major issue?

When a bug makes a player quit, it isn't minor.
Then everything can be a major.

This happens very rarely and doesn't affect overall gameplay greatly. Preventing estates disaster is very easy and always possible. Can't call it 'major' from general viewpoint.

If the bug doesn't allow you to play optimally the estates game
How? Are you saying that letting disaster fire is more optimal play than revoking provinces given to estate or losing Prussian Monarchy? Well,

This bug exists for long time. Or perhaps it's not a bug, it's just that the ending event of the nobility coup put you in a Despotic Monarchy. If you were in an absolut monarchy, you loose it in the same way. I don't try it, but it can be a good way to remove the elective monarchy in PLC.

So not only did you have the Prussian Monarchy bug in your game you also had a bug where you got two identical estate events one year after each other and you had a bug where the influence of an estate didnt drop when you revoked all their land?

Poland get a special type of noble rebels changing the government to elective monarchy so it wouldn't work.

It wouldn't work. The change to Despotic only happens if your government is a Noble Republic (which you won't get from Aristocratic Coup if you're Elective Monarchy) and you don't have a special modifier that Elective Monarchies get when they get Aristocratic Coup.

ETA: BTW, this bug would also affect the Ottomans.

Having recently done a Prussia run I wish I'd known about this, my government type was pretty much useless for the last hundred years or so because my size simply meant I could never actually use my Prussian effects. So changing to a different type would have been great.

Even if it's a bug.

Can you go revolutionary as a Prussian monarchy? With girondists you basically swap 5% disc for 10% morale and that's comparing against full militarization Prussian monarchy.

Once you reach a certain size, militarization is only useful to get a short boost if you have to fight a tough war which is unlikely at this point but not impossible. The extra military points are useful to keep a lot of policies running without having to worry about falling behind in military techs.
