Representatives were supposed to scale with the population so that one rep could reasonably represent all of the people in their district.

There are tons of ways to restructure the US legislative system that would ameliorate the current problems -- uncap the number of reps, allow individuals to override a fractional vote of their rep, split representation into technocratic branches and let everyone vote for a different rep on each domain, let people vote for committee membership, switch to approval voting or proportional representation, introduce term limits for reps and their staff, etc.

This totally makes sense. The US House is about 1000 (or more) members short.

The Wyoming Rule (i.e no District should be larger than the the least populous State AKA Wyoming) would put the US House at about 850-860 Representatives

I think this would be the best approach
