"Ultimately though, exposing the state to liability incentivizes states to properly train their agents and to bind them contractually"

Well right, that's how I read the SCOTUS decision!

The state, not the agents, are exposed to liability, incentivizing them to reign in their agents.

But that's what the Court said: take it up with the state.
