Closed-circuit rebreather technology is already about as simple as it can get, but there is a fundamental minimum complexity that will always be higher than open-circuit. You will always need multiple O₂ sensors (for redundancy), probably a CO₂ sensor, control electronics, batteries, solenoids, scrubber, readouts, etc. Those items are usually quite reliable but they still introduce additional failure points and risk of operator error.
