First an in-game voice chat definitely something you guys should add in. AndYou should add something like ranked mode or maybe scoring system or anything that you can get when you winning the game. so it can make people always playing because they have purpose. I am personally, if I don't playing with my friends, i have no reason to try playing the lobby with unmotivated people that will immediately going afk if they not getting the impostor.

Among Us ranked would not work at all. I cant think of what to say to explain myself but the only way for the game to not be ruined is by playing with either 100% randoms or 100% friends. Playing with friends wouldn't work because its ranked, and everybody has to turn on each other. Playing with randoms would only get you killed. Most of my deaths in among us are by being ejected because my crew mates wouldn't listen.
