I love what they are trying to do with Stratum V2 but as far as i understand it has a similar problem as taproot. There is no strong incentive for individual actors to adopt it but if they did it would be better for the network as a whole

actually there are some really good reasons for miners to adopt it:

better security (that is to say any security) between individual miners and their pool operator to prevent people from stealing their shares
way less networking overhead between miners and the pool
miners can propose block templates!
