Because you've expressed an interest in "creating a distro" and preferably not maintaining/distributing an iso
here's an example of an implementation method that you may (or may not) wish to consider:

Apologies for stating my perception so pointedly that it came across as an attack on your character.
I'm usually opinionated and, yep, sometimes sharp-tongued... but I'm not into drama.
You'll find no quarrel with me; I'm here to exchange ideas.
In response (granted, it's only been a few days since then) no "thanks" nor "thanks, but no thanks"
just a change of subject and shifted attention, jabberjawing here in this thread.
though your claims so far are no more backed up than mine
~~ antix/MX ARE USING A DERIVED, FEATURE-EXPANDED, VERSION OF THE CLEVER
LIVEBOOT SNAPSHOT UTILITY CREATED BY fsmithred. (The point of contrast here
is that devuan is not yet supporting live / persistence / frugal / install / snapshot)
From where I sit, their momentum has exceeded, continues to exceed that of devuan.
If requested, I'll post a bulleted list of the achievements/differences I've noticed.
Really though, I had hoped you'd check/compare for yourself.

fsr is acknowledged in the headers of their snapshot script, but theirs is a separately maintained project.my main concern being how much ends up on fsrs shoulders as a result

more flexibility
(flexibility beyond 'tailored excludes list(s)')
your current implementation seems hamstrung by dependence on a "parent distro" which ships pythonic fig,
and reliance upon a 'fig script derived from woof-ce' to achieve the in-place modifications.
in comparison, the cited 'github-hosted shell script' implementation seems less brittle, more salable, more approachable.
