...although I think organized play has adapted to the spawn system as it stands (correct me if I'm wrong!).

Eh, not so much. It's not impossible to recover from but it gives the enemy a large advantage.

I think for the most part it works well but, there are still select few cases where players get spawned near their team as the enemy pushes in or spawn behind teammates as they die to the enemy.

There's a difference between making the hoop 14 feet high and telling all the players that you have to wait for half a second after running before you can shoot the ball.

dying and spawning on the opposite side of the map by yourself and having no teammates around you is a major problem if your trying to have a game be competitive

Generally a competitive title will not have CoD style TDM as its comp gamemode, so there's that. Not even CoD does it actually

If you want to stop people from frequently respawning and coming back, as well as negating any issues involving item cheese, why not a 1 spawn gamemode, or at least one with limited spawns_

Alternatively, spawns based on map sides, with those sides being X distance from objectives, is usually a good way of mitigating distance

Granted, the difference a fresh player is going to make on any respawn-allowing match is going to depend rather heavily on player speed, fight viability from spawn and ttk...

I'm far from convinced such a mode isn't going to end up being nothing but Scouts and Snipers but I'm happy to be pleasantly surprised

"To the untrained eye this chart may indeed appear to demonstrate a steep and sustained downward trend; however, what you're actually seeing is the line being dragged down because of the strengthening gravitational pull of a player base that is actually increasing in density. Rest assured, this is all going completely according to plan."
