I don't believe alternative electoral systems are a good idea because they tend to have major unforeseen consequences. For example, proportional representation sounds great on paper but it is widely recognized as a contributig factor to the rise of Hitler.
Ranked choice voting would likely have the effect of eroding the two party system. Whether that is a good or bad thing is highly uncertain. I think it has a lot more potential to be bad and it isn't worth the risk.
