I agree on the naming. I wasn't actually referring to IRV, I meant ranked choice in general as I assumed the OP did (I may well have been wrong on that). I assumed as much because all ranked choice systems are "confusing" compared to plurality systems.
I'm not sure what you're suggesting by dropping the elimination step. Without the elimination step it is just first past the post. First past the post does not produce better outcomes.
I do agree that IRV isn't great though. Although you can do better in single seat constituencies, it's probably more viable to move to multi-seat constituencies.
