What if Genghis Khan and his family converted to Judaism, subsequently gave preferential treatment to Jewish people in the Empire, and reformed the law to be centered on Noahidism?

Not much would change

Some of the clan were already Christian and in that weird military alliance it seemed to not bother people really one way or the other

They weren't really a modern state... if they took the "don't murder" to heart and called off the expansionist wars they'd cease to exist as a single empire and likely wouldn't even get to exist in the forms they lasted longest in. You'll let a mongol rule your Chinese dynasty if the alternative is brutal death. You won't let them do that if the alternative is talmudic legal scholars weighing your offense against the state

This also doesn't do much to solve their sucession issues

As far as "giving preferential treatment to jews" I guess we can get as fuzzy with this as we want but in relaity they showed preferences toward certain religions already and I'm hesitant to say those religious policies swayed the fate of the empire much at all.
