I think this is one of those "gay marriage 50 years ago" ...

That's partway where the original discussion was going.

less likely to enter into a relationship if you're incompatible.

if only that were true for all people who enter relationships.

(rational relationships is a recent pet topic of mine)

I would apply the rule that I apply to polyamory - there are ways to do it wrong, and ways to do it less wrong. I do wonder if it has an inherent wrongness risk to it, but people probably implied that about being gay 50 years ago...

And I've yet to see evidence that they were wrong.
