Can a US state do a statewide election where you vote for a party and it’s proportionally distributed so you can avoid gerrymandering?

5 seats available: 50.01% R, 49.99%D => 3R, 2D

I think they could if they made a law that enacted that (AFAIK, can’t do it just because governor decrees it though, for example).
There are a few states with various degrees of ranked choice voting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_United_States
