I bought a sunjoe electric, corded scarifier/rake. Worked well this past spring to bring up the dead grass and aerate the lawn a bit. First I used the aeration tine blades, then I used the scarifier.
I think you'd still need to get the lawn aerated every couple years, but it worked well for me.
The only issue is the size of the bag is comically small. I soon decided to keep the bag off and just leave the piles of dead grass, and go over them with my lawn mower in mulch mode afterwards to bag it... Worked decently.
