Would 2-3-1 make more sense than 1-3-2?

No…Jeff literally already adressed this in his post, and I agree wholeheartedly as a support player with everything he says about it:

@JeffreyKaplan

Before implementing 2/2/2 role queue, we had done experiments with the team compositions being 1 Tank, 1 Support and 4 damage. The playtests under a 4-1-1 comp were terrible. The problem was the solo support. As a solo support, you felt unable to keep the rest of the team alive. Added to that, at all times, you had 5 very aggressive players prioritizing you as the target every time. As soon as the support player on one side died, the entire team would fall like a house of cards.

Obviously solo tank played, performed, and felt much better to the majority of the team. The only support I can see solo healing is Mercy. She’d probably be a must pick in a solo healer, 3 DPS system.

They could just lock the tank role into Main(Shield) and off tanks and have one main and one off tank per team and keep 2-2-2 without having to worry about double shield or double main tank ever again.
