Going to quickly give you an answer, then go back and read what others have written.
- How did you pick your key ranks?
Very carefully. I realize that's not very helpful, but there is no way to be 100% safe. Choose people you trust as that is what is most important.
- How long had they been in the clan?
Since the start I believe, and our higher non key ranks have been quite active and contributed a lot to the clan in some form or another (hosting events, recruiting, etc)
- Was there any animosity over them being picked over others?
This hasn't been a problem with folks getting promoted to a key, or overseer etc. We have had a couple people get frustrated (and one person leave) because they felt a new clannie was promoted to admin and given avatar privileges rather quickly. But we have also had cases where we have promoted good friends who joined our clan to an admin rank after them only being in the clan for a week without any complaints.
- Can you run a clan on 2 keys?
You can run a clan on one. It is a lot of work, but really you don't need a certain rank to run a clan. I have personally helped run clans that I only guested into. If I needed a setting changed, I would just ask the owner to do it. This means that if you are hesitant to promote anyone, you don't need to, let them do the work first and earn the rank.
- Do I actually need other key ranks?
Already answered this
I keep writing stuff, and then deleting it. There is so much I feel I could say, but it also feels a lot like fluff. Every clan is different. What I feel is most important, is trust, and not just between you and your key ranks, but between everyone in the clan. Of course, nothings perfect.
Feel free to pm me anytime if you wanna chat or ask questions in a more real time manner.

If we point out each others flaws, then we can fix them.
That way, we can all improve together
