You're going to see more of this kind of voting systems put in place, because it's a serious republican killer.

I'm not so sure about that. Look at all the times over the years that a Libertarian on the ballot has denied wins to Republicans. With ranked choice voting, most of the libertarian voters would pick the Republican as their second choice, giving the Republican the win.

It does sound like more of a Democrat defensive play against all of those little splinter Leftist parties that keep popping up. Green Party, Working Families Party, Socialist Party, etc.
