Hi Michael- Can you move in the direction of treating OSM as your canonical source? Overpass API/Overpass Turbo offers a convenient way to retrieve the data from OSM:
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/ltm If you click "export" there, you can get geojson. Understandable that there might be some difficulties organizationally, but not having to do merges is a big win. As far as getting your current changes added to OSM, if you are familiar with JOSM, the OpenData plugin and the "Replace Geometry" tool from utilsplugin2 might at least remove some of the pain of updating the features that are in OSM. I would guess that lots of manual work is going to be the best way to sync the data up.
