Commiserations :( Its why I'm girding myself to learn python finally. You can avoid set driven keys pretty much with utility nodes in maya, something like remap values will allow you to link attributes to SRT values. Those can be duplicated easily enough with ctrl-d (avoiding ctrl-c/ctrl-v unless you want a pasted copy of your entire character, why would you ever want to do that?!) but you still need to then wire them into the mirror side.
