Right now they don't have more than two parties not because they don't want to but basically because they can't.

Once that would be possible watch everyone vote for who they actually want to vote for. Within no time you'd be seeing dozens of parties pop up

Australia has had ranked choice voting for decades. Wikipedia describes their system as a "mild" two-party system. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_Australia

I don't see any reason the US would have a different outcome. But I believe transitioning from our current "hard" two-party system to a "mild" one would be a huge positive.
