I mostly stick to QoL or QoL-ish mods so I'm not terribly familiar with how they might address the issue, although I know at least LW2 and/or LWOTC allows for guaranteed promotions up to a certain rank under some circumstances, although the soldier still has to partake in the mission.

The resistance order that gets you sergeants is absurdly good early on and I wish there was a smoother transition, even if it meant putting your squaddies back in.
