I want to do the same, especially after switching back from Fedora, where sway
is configured OOTB *really nicely*.

In my OS image I created /etc/sway/config-vars.d/user.conf with
include ~/.config/sway/config-vars.d/*
and /etc/sway/config.d/user.conf with
include ~/.config/sway/config.d/*
which does that. I now have my "delta" config in
~/.config/sway/config-vars.d/menu.conf and ~/.config/sway/config.d/my.conf

Not necessary: You can overwrite the default bar-0 with
bar bar-0 {
swaybar_command waybar
}
Without the "bar-0", it will create a *second* bar, i.e. you'd have the default
swaybar and the new waybar. I think this is fine.

I didn't look into that yet.
