It's not so clear ternary would actually be an improvement: at least in terms of how we can implement circuits today, ternary's radix efficiency is offset by the inefficiency of implementing ternary logic. It might work if you have a new way of constructing logic circuits where this efficiency difference doesn't appear. (see https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.06841 https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.06841)
