Isn't it a better idea to elect a process who has the largest offset? Basically during leader election, a process should get confirmation of majority of correct processes. If another process observes that it has larger offset in the log, rejects the election and starts another round of election. Eventualy a correct process who has largest offset will become leader. Regarding correctness, this sounds to me as a safer election.
