I have 2 different levels, an upper deck where the spa is and a lower deck at the pool level.

Is it possible for a pool cover company to cut a channel into the wall or build a 2nd deck in order to install an autocover?

Obviously this would be an expensive project, I'm prepared for sticker shock for something like this.

My next pool will be strictly rectangular so I can avoid this stuff

My builder said he only recommends covers on rectangles but they can cover almost anything that is one level with rails on the pool deck or under. I imagine yours would be difficult not because of the freeform nature but because of the high level on the back, the auto covers rest on the water and need it to support them. My amateur opinion is not impossible but it would take structural changes to your pool. Here are a bunch of examples -
 
What are your goals with the autocover, less debris, save cost because of heat retention, less water usage because of less evaporation?

I am asking this because from what I see it will require major work and you will have visible tracks in the end if ever it is even possible to do it (your hot tub seem in the way and we do not see the other side if there is place for the auto cover roller). I doubt the cost / value it there in your case depending on what were your goals and also you will lose visually by seeing those tracks.

Unless your were planning a major pool overall I would pass.
