Congress sets the rules every year. So yes, if you want to "address abuses of the rules" by making the rules part of the constitution you have to have a convention every year.
Congress cannot do their jobs not because of rules, but because the democrats won't change them, which they have the power to do, not only at the start of the congress, but at any point within the congress.
The filibusters is not something we are stuck with because congress is broken but because the democrats do not have the party cohesion to enforce the change
