So...Thanos' ethos was that there were too many mouths to feed and not enough food to go around so half of the Universe had to die.

Cool. I'm on board so far.

But there is space travel and apparently sufficient extraneous resources where destroying the odd planet here and there wasnt significantly impacting supply despite a clear perception of demand.

I mean, doesnt it make more sense for Thanos to found an inter-Galactic shipping company than to kill half of the inhabitants of the Galaxy?

The half that were left were just going to go at it like rabbits just like the last group did and you're eventually just going to end up in the same spot.

Perhaps an inter-Galactic 'Skip The Dishes' or 'Meals on (Spacecraft) Wheels?'

Remember, this is a guy (Titan) that is feeding an enormous army and consuming significant galactic resources to reduce a Galactic population to his perception of 'sustainable levels' which, I might add, he did not really provide alot of research or backup documentation for, it was very literally entirely anecdotal experience on 1 planet.

His entire premise is flawed in a perceptibly infinite Galaxy with incalculable resources.

So it was clearly just an excuse to rationalize his unquenchable bloodlust.
