This is yet another technical solution to what is fundamentally an incentives problem. Whoever benefits from the status quo (gerrymandering) will naturally be incentivized to resist any change which is objectively more 'fair'.
That's the real problem. It's nothing to do with how we draw lines on a map, it's how do you get whoever is currently in power to agree to a more fair system, given that it's (by definition) not in their interest.
