A-H can survive but it is not easy. It should reform itself as federation where major ethnic groups would have lot of autonomy. Biggest problem is getting Hungary accept this idea. There was some nationalism but they mostly wanted more autonomy not outright secession. And other problem was that neighbors wanted certain regions. Russia wanted Galicia, Romania Transylvania, Serbia at least Bosnia-Herzegovina and Italy Southern Tyrol and Istria in minimum.
Countries don't implode randomly in peace time. It took even the Soviet union 20-30 years of stagnation, decay, economic mismanagement, military overspending, international sanctions and internal repression, furthermore the rather specific circumstances of the '80s (oil glut, Chernobil, etc.) to finally fall apart.Which are the chances of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire to survive until the present day if somehow the World Wars (or similar large-scale war in Europe) were avoided during the 20th century?
Would it manage to survive in peace times or would its dissolution/partition be unavoidable at some point?
But A-H could have faced internal revolution at some point (specially by Czechs and Romanians).Countries don't implode randomly in peace time.

I don't think Austria-Hungary could ever find itself in comparably disastrous circumstances in peace time.
