You replace the claim about voting method with a claim about who can get on the ballot. That is as big of a change as changing the voting method.

There are options for managing ballot access:
* Since there is no spoiler effect, you could just let everyone on the ballot. Letting abstentions count as zero votes, obscure candidates cannot win. (Less severely, abstention could count as a fractional zero vote, i.e. 0 in the numerator of the average and 0<x<1 (say x = .25) in the denominator...)
* Or require a certain number of signatures to let a candidate on the ballot.
