The pressure on the penalty taker is really the only argument against penalty shootouts that makes sense to me. If that constitutes a genuine concern, go back to the old coin toss. Penalties really only magnify the amount of luck that's already inherently involved in football.
Any solution that involves extending the playtime beyond 120 minutes seems impracticable and taking into account previous results makes little sense and is extremely unfair in that it affects the game from the get go and not after 2 hours, after neither team managed to win.
