High speed maglevs are an awesome technology I'd like to see built here (although not if my taxes were paying for it), but they would also be incredibly expensive and much less flexible than regular high speed rail (no through-running to existing stations on normal tracks for one thing).
Also based on Japan's experience they aren't necessarily easy to build, and are far from proven technology. Small shuttles like the Shanghai maglev might be a proof of concept in some ways, but incidentally show some of the drawbacks you can end up with - the cost, power use, noise, and also the terminal being in a poor location, and doesn't have as many challenges as a proper long distance network (so isn't a full example to copy for our purposes). Am sure I read somewhere the reliability hasn't been great either.
Maybe there are good reasons that almost every country looking to build a modern high speed ground based transport system has gone with high speed rail rather than maglev, and the German maglev development industry seems to have pretty much closed down...
Any mention of stuff like hyperloop or other sorts of vacuum tube trains is just wishful thinking - a whole new level of unproven systems with massive risks and huge expenses there (the cost estimates given by proponents are almost certainly nonsense).
Regular high speed rail is definitely the sensible option.
