Post #10 by Software Tools is the best solution, have you not considered it?
It does not require any civil engineering.
It only requires 1 reversing unit although if you are using sensors to trigger the reversing unit that becomes more complicated. It could be dificult to fit the sensors between the pairs of crossover points.
For ease of installation I would not bother with the sensors. The reverse unit detects the short circuit and instantly flips the polarity. I used my reverse units many years in short circuit mode without any issues.
You can add the opposite crossover without causing any problems, providing that the yellow reversing section is extended to accomodate your trains.
This solution is the same as post #8 in your linked thread, by having the reversing section on a length of the main running loop.
