I haven't read through this entire thread, but here's one solution that makes sense, but most wouldn't like.
Leave the league aligned the way it is now, but don't schedule 2 games with each division opponent. 1 each, alternating home/away each year.
That could help to level the playing field without anything dramatic being done. It wouldn't always make a difference, but it wouldn't hurt, either.
Oh, and no bye weeks for anyone, even if it means adding one playoff team to even things out. Homefield advantage is enough of an....advantage.
