So from a user perspective: Yes, it's annoying that some settings are
in GNOME Tweaks, and there is no way to know which settings are where
short of simply remembering. But from a design perspective, I can
appreciate that GNOME Settings is as clutter-free as possible.

I kind of like what Windows 7 šŸ˜– did in their Control Panel.

The common actions are easily accessible, and the less common ones are hidden behind just a few ā€œAdvancedā€ clicks.

And everything is searchable too. The current GNOME Settings search only seems to only consider panel names and descriptions, which is far from adequate. Try searching ā€œOutput Deviceā€ – you will get ā€œNo results foundā€. Something like full-text search similar to one Firefox has in its preferences might be nicer and allow us to merge the two configuration applications.
