Banning VPNs would be very difficult for a US state. In China VPN restrictions are somewhat effective because of compliance from consumer platforms, ISPs and cloud service providers all operating inside a largely isolated pocket of the internet. If any of those stakeholders refused to play along or could operate outside of enforcement range then the VPN ban would fail. A ban isn’t truly impossible, especially with support from courts and the federal government, but I think it’s similar to the difficulty level of banning pirated content.
