The final solution is adding a third dimension so that all areas, angles and distances are conserved.
If 2D projections aren't good enough then don't use them.

This. The globe was invented for a reason.

I've been working on this problem for 20 years (I am autistic but also dumb)
I switch between accepting that there is no perfect answer most of the time, and chasing wild geese down rabbit holes when I get what I imagine is very close to a manic episode
I've settled on icosahedrons. but I'm not happy about it

What's the problem? Use a globe if you need to "understand."
Aviation and Naval charts already meet the needs for long distance travel. There's no unsolved problem, the professionals have adequate solutions.
