I live in Maryland and honestly it’s not so offensively gerrymandered anymore, at least at the congressional level. No more drunk pterodactyl shaped districts.

Are you a center-R or hard-R in MD, though? My (few) acquaintances who are seem to believe they are the last outpost of sense in the state, and that, frankly, the incoming migrants are about to cut their throats and convert their children.
In the short term, a nonpartisan districting by the kind of algorithmic system I advocate for every state would probably flip the 6th back for one additional R seat in the west, a 6-2 rather than 7-1 delegation. But, several seats including both R districts would be more competitive than all but the 6th have been.
