Hi @xJoeyv we have the same challenge. We are researching linking front end theming to data.  
A consideration for us is making a UI for theming and invoking layouts, blocks, etc and then associated them with collections, pages, singletons, etc.  
Maybe we can collaborate?

create the file : `config/cockpit/style.css` which will get auto-loaded in the backend

or create an addon which loads your custom css
