[Discworld/LoTR] Would Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson have been a good candidate for carrying the One Ring?

Captain Carrot is mentioned to have very little in regard of ambition and imagination. He's (un)subtly hinted to be the true king of Ankh Morpork and the surrounding lands, yet refuses to become king because he believes they're flawed and that it's just not him. He is also willing and capable to follow his duties to the end, regardless of the consequences.

With all this in mind, would he not be a great candidate for carrying the One Ring to Mount Doom?

His personality certainly is well-suited, but part of what made the hobbits well-suited to Ringbearing is their rather limited capacity for personal power. Carrot is incredibly innately powerful, particularly in force of personality. The Ring would have a lot more ways to give him good reasons to use it that it could offer Sam, Frodo, Bilbo, or Smeagal, who bore the Ring longest by far.
