Raft is a pretty decent -- not great -- consensus algorithm (IMHO) but it is used because it is easy to understand. If I had to trust one, I would probably go with Multi-Paxos, if you could successfully implement it.

The article you linked to says if you have PreVote and CheckQuorum it then doesn’t have liveness issues.

What does strongly consistent have to do with liveness? If there's a connection it seems pretty indirect.

That is about availability in the CAP theorem, not consistency though.
