So the solution is to tie the dome down at more points.

Sounds like a distinction without (much) difference.

I think the point is, if you need to tie it down anyway, why limit yourself to the dome shape.

I guess it’s still a dome, just a huge one!

Or you could just add weight e.g. pile some sand on the outside of the membrane — you don't actually need the tie down, just an equivalent force.
