The best choice if you need to customize things is to not use gnome.
The gnome team does not want you to change things, they want you to use it as is. They go out of their way to be obtuse and stubborn.
Trying to cope and claim gnome is worth using at all if you don’t like vanilla gnome is cope of the highest order and actively just going to hurt people by making them suffer though a shit experience.
Use the right tool for the tool for the right job. Gnome is not a multi tool stop trying to make it one.

All my homies hate libadwaita it’s bad.
