Interesting article Kevin - we offer Contento (www.contento.io) which attempts to address some of the issues you raise. I think the 'shorter development time' point is key - we are trying to tackle this via start kits to help reduce some of the burden up front. Best of luck with Storyblok - but if you ever run out of patience feel free to kick the tires of Contento (we offer a visual preview capability rather than a visual editor) but that's a conversation for another day.
