It seems the problem with tracking the maidens is with the convoluted succession. Wouldn't maidens concentrate on their sucessor in their final thoughts to ensure the power ends in the right hands (like a rational human being)?

Wouldn't that make Qrow the worst detective ever if he couldn't even figure out who the maidens had chosen as their successor? Except that is not the ONLY possibility... if they fail to do so or the thoughts don't manifest the next maiden... then how do you suggest they start looking? If it is difficult getting accurate homeless population #'s in the US IRL imagine trying that with Remnant's female homeless population ALONE, no other demographics... hell the mortality rate is likely the ONLY thing in their favor.
