Is myth currently able to automatically switch the video mode via xrandr?
Eg, if it sees 1080i content, it switches to 1080i, and if it sees
720p content, it switches to 720p?

Assuming you have a TV which can handle both modes, and assuming that
the TV does a better job of deinterlacing 1080i -> 720p than your
computer, wouldn't it make sense to send the material to the TV in the
content's native format if possible?
