As you can see, Terran Confederation has not ventured outside of Sol yet, except for survey operations. I thought this would make jump paths easier to see, with them on the "same" level but it is getting really crowded. I'll probably have to go back to the usual spiderweb style.
A very visually interesting approach, though sadly like you say I don't think it would be viable for much longer. Even leaving aside that the galactic map tends to expand as 2^N as you get N jumps from Sol, at some point you're going to have to deal with things like a closed warp point from 116 Herculis to 61 Hydrae, or some such.
I've always rather liked how Steve's maps turn out, somehow he has a nice balance of the default map placement settings and just enough human adjustment as new loops and nexus systems are discovered.

This is my "time-waster" campaign while waiting for 2.0 as I don't want to make the situation in my Aurora 1890 campaign any more complicated as I will have to manually recreate it in Aurora 2.0 once that comes out.
Since you're still in one system that's probably reasonable, but personally my plan for Duranium Legion is to keep it in 1.12 - updates are slow but I do intend to keep it updated even if/when I start a 2.0 AAR.
