Q: would it be possible, or even logical, for future medicine to have perhaps fillings to cover the sacks of the diverticulosis to qvoid progression into diverticulitis?

: Anything is possible. But most diverticula are asymptomatic and require no treatment and diverticulosis is often an incidental finding. So it would logistically and economically laborious and expensive to find and treat them by 'filing' them.
