Certainly substantially higher than 50/50.
If I were on a board hiring a CEO, we'd likely apply a more onerous standard than one in ten. There is a large universe of capable people, and you don't play dice with your company.
As to reckless allegations, I'd wait to see if a problem emerges and we're suddenly short capable nominees. Since the question is what is best for the court and country, not what is best for the candidate, our standards should be very high.
