Advocate IIDataset Owner - who should own it?
I'd move forward with the service account pathway as this would allow for the easiest transition if someone were to leave the organization it wouldn't require an audit to see what reports are going to break which would hinder availability.
If the concern is with data refresh failures you can add yourself as well as other team members as individuals who need to receive notifications when something is wrong.One thing you'll have to do though is have a Power BI Pro or Power BI Premium Per User license on the service account and that would be the account you'll need to log into if you there is any adjustments you need to make to the dataset.
