Two state switch?
Topre switch would be able to achieve that. I remember niz sells individual topre switches. You should be able to make your key matrix and keyboard with this tutorial. https://github.com/tomsmalley/custom-topre-guide

Down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole
Came across this while combing through my comments and thought I'd already answered, so pardon the delay.
People have certainly tried [1][2], but the big issue in the design is that the switches don't operate as a standard on/off (trivial to detect), but are instead capacitive, in that the current passing through the electrocapacitive pad on the PCB is somewhere between 1 and 0 (exclusive bounds, iirc, and simplified) at all times, dependent on how far the 'switch' above it is being pressed. This old repo seems to explain it well: https://github.com/tomsmalley/custom-topre-guide
Price and marketability are also issues. Split keebs are niche, ortho keebs are niche, EC keebs are niche, and you're talking about fusing those three together. People would 100% buy in, but it would probably be a microscopic market, to the point where the project would be financially lossy, even if you were selling them for $400 apiece.
The closest you/one might get for now is by buying two of these[3], unless you're dedicated enough to DIY.

Has anyone done a split ergo board with Topre switches?
With that said, there have been a couple of attempts at a custom build: here's Tom Smalley's guide.

Ortho Topre
Making a custom Topre keyboard is very involved.

Topre or EC Split?
I remember this project and just came across custom HHKB-like PCB, while looking it up. There's a summary in this repo.
