Rather than any variety of ranked choice, which demands convoluted counting schemes and fundamentally provides less information than scalar scoring schemes, we should be pushing hard for approval voting, which has the advantages of being dead simple to explain and interpret, obviously fair, able to reuse most existing infra, and not requiring the majority of voters to make substantial changes to their voting patterns as a transitional step.
If we didn't have the history of voting system reform attempts to look at, I would almost suspect that ranked choice advocacy is a troll move to discredit alternative voting systems, rather than being a vestige of lack of rigorous analysis of voting systems until after early attempts at voting system reforms had gotten out of ground.
