This would require that the AFL-CIO, UAW, Teamsters, SEIU, etc. all reverse decades of their own established policy not to pursue members-only unions.

It would also require legislation that makes it possible for a worker to dissociate from a union that they don't want to represent them. There is immense opposition by labor organizers against anything remotely resembling this shape of law, so it is unlikely to happen.

Given the weakened state of unions in the U.S., perhaps it wouldn't be too hard to start over from a clean slate with new systems and practices.

Yes, but you want to take on both organized labor (AFL-CIO and the like) and anti-labor forces at the same time... well, good luck to you.

I mean that earnestly, not sarcastically. "Uphill battle" doesn't even begin to describe it.

Disruption is the name of the game, after all.
