All academic since it would never actually happen, but it seems like 3rd parties enjoy more success under parliamentary systems, and super unpopular governments can be tossed out more easily. Would things be any better?

Imo it's a marginally better system in the abstract but if it or any sort of electoral reform was dropped on the US tomorrow it wouldn't help. Elections are superstructural elements and don't alter the economic/legal relations between classes. We see plenty of parliamentary systems that permit unpopular governments, party duopolies, etc. The bourgeois state, and its elections, are not for working people and their other instruments like the media enforce that as well.
