My solution was not to use anything other than the main kicad launcher ;). So I never used standalone pcbnew/eeschema/gerbview/... on OSX. I did figure out what it would take to fix the kiface detection issue, and started https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/merge_requests/82 to try to make it so everything will work from the build directory, but I haven't gotten around to figuring out the Python pathing yet (that is the one that is most troublesome for me now that I switched back to a Linux daily driver machine - the kifaces just work for me now :) ).
