What about the functions of democracy as a check to abuses to power, or the necessity of a government being able to take decisive action? (The second is obviously a function of government more generally.)
The case for election by lot is stronger than its even been. In a complex modern society, so complex as to need technocrats, why elect leaders by vote? Why not elect by lot. By electing by vote, aren’t we just selecting for Machiavellianism? We want the leaders values to represent the voter base, but election by lot will do this more easily (at least at large enough numbers where we don’t get the occasional dictatorship of weirdos), since they won’t just lie about their values like voted in leaders can. Think about the two/three/four functions of democracy and how election by lot would now affect them from Voting.
