I'm not sufficiently versed to answer your other questions, but I'm surprised you think creating packages is so cumbersome.

There a lot of simple applications that can be packaged very simply with something like:

configure
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/build/
$(pkgsend open [email protected])
pkgsend import /tmp/build
pkgsend close

If anything, I think packaging with IPS tends to be simpler because it doesn't conflate a build system with packaging, so you're free to build the software however you like, and can then package the result regardless of how you built it.

If you have specific concerns or questions surrounding the publication process, feel free to comment.
