It really has to go by topic, not article, for full effectiveness, so
probably human enforcement is unavoidable. But being able to do it by
article as an alternative or supplement would a/ serve as a reminder &
b/add a degree of impersonality to enforcement which may be a help
sometimes

I'm thinking that an article may have a list or log of blocked editors, so
that an editor can be blocked from a specific article without blocking them
more generally or relying on their good faith to not violate topic bans. Any
thoughts?
I don't see a problem with the current system really. The remedy for
someone violating a topic ban is to just ban them entirely, which is a
good way of separating out the good-faith editors who are simply
problematic in certain areas (but will respect a topic-ban) from those
whose good faith we cannot rely upon, who should just be banned entirely.
