Plus, if inter-district play gets sorted out, then teams could still intermingle if they want, NYC+LI teams can compete in MAR, and upstate teams can go to New England events. That seems like the "everybody wins" scenario, even though it bring a new host of problems surrounding inter-district play.

For all non-selfish reasons, I have to agree that this becomes the better option for most teams in NY.
The other similar option that benefits the international teams is to have upstate NY become a district and leave NY as is. Maybe even add another regional event to NYC or LI.
