You don't need to go that far, just getting rid of gerrymandering (and thus, "safe" seats) would accomplish much the same in terms of forcing candidates to appeal to a broader constituency.

Any kind of district system will still result in a two-party system. You need to get rid of the district system. A district system only represents the majority opinion in each district, so a very large minority of Americans will effectively not be represented. It also pushes people to vote for the "lesser evil" instead of voting their conscience.

The US needs more than two parties.
