Replacing Postorius with a Mailman 2 lookalike would probabaly be a nearly complete rewrite. Of course you can reuse the HTML and perhaps the page-generating code, but all of the "business logic" needs to be rewritten pretty much from scratch, as Mailman 2 has direct access to list configurations, but in Mailman 3 you need to talk REST.
I'm not sure this would be easier to install, although the typical installation / configuration problems might be more familiar to Mailman 2 users.
If someone was going to undertake a rewrite of Postorius, using a different web development framework (e.g. Flask, but pretty much anything that isn't Django) would at least remove one major moving part from the install process.
