apostolic succession is much more than Acts 1.
Clement of Rome ( who conversed with Peter and Paul ) tells us that the Apostles chose men to lead the Church after they were gone and laid hands on them.
the Scriptures describe this as happening to Titus and Timothy, and also Titus was instructed to do this in Crete.
so yes, I want to go that route.
This is quite apparent ... since the prescription in Acts 1 is ignored.
