Isn't solving this as easy as just not having VCC + GND on the pins next to each other?

If you shove data in the middle, you're never going to short VCC + GND together. your data line shouldn't care about being high (5v) or low (gnd).

No so, even if VCC and GND are on opposite ends of the TRRS, they will pass by eachother as the cable is unplugged.
