You do realize that going to a 2v2 format would mean teams give up 1/3 of their matches, right? events with 12 matches per team would be down to 8, 9 matches would be down to 6. Something tells me that's not how they want to go.
As for 2v2v2... that could work for a 6-division championship format, but what about regional/district events? How do you make it work with 8 playoff alliances? Or would we have to decrease that to 6 as well?
If you're going with a round-robin type format for Einstein, you can do that with a normal 3v3 and 6 divisions, no need to change the game format for it.
