Not that I'm aware of. There is no presumption of separation of powers at the state level. If a state had a unique form of government in compliance with the Constitution, it's possible.
At the federal level, what Lincoln did was just for show. It's not going to hurt anything, but it's not necessary either. It made absolutely no difference as to whether the amendment was sent to the states.
