Don't call it court-packing. Call it court-updating. We've had 9 justices since the US was sparsely populated.
And do it in a way that doesn't spark an arms race: Example, Biden adds a few seats, then two seats added every 4 years until no single justice has too much power.

Okay, yeah, I'm assuming Biden will win. I'm also assuming McConnell will ram another justice through.

That requires a Constitutional amendment, so it's much harder. https://twitter.com/artsycarol/status/1307465623161667590

The idea was for judges to be able to do what was right without worrying about reelection. It was supposed to put the court above politics.
At times it has actually worked. Desegregation would have ben harder if federal judges had to answer to voters. https://twitter.com/kpcruz/status/1307468335005741059
