Hold on, wasn't there a similar paper last year wrt non-intersecting shape/mesh optimization? (edit: I think it was a topology paper actually)

I found this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.06256.pdf but I don't think it's what I'm thinking of.

This shape filling curve method probably isn't what you're thinking of either, but it's neat and similar to the OP linked paper in 2D: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25905534 & https://www.vidarholen.net/contents/blog/?p=1062

Yes; Keenan Crane does amazing work; his book (and online video series) on Discrete Differential Geometry are really good.
