But for constant rpm it's still unnecessarily complex and the supercharger adds weight and takes up space doing the work that the existing crankcase was/is doing.

It might be quite hard to provide oiling for a turbocharger to operate with a conventional 2-stroke, but it's not undoable at all. BRP now uses turbochargers on some of its snowmobiles. Sure a turbocharger might not be so dumproof at all, but it has the advantage of usign waste energy from the exhaust stream instead of increasing drag to the engine like a supercharger.
