The system has not changed for a long time, whilst yours is moving very quickly, with some features that are tricky for me (e.g. it has overrides, that depend in a specific number of spaces in the line, different way to visually separate the patches inside the file ...), just little things but with a "higher" probability for me to mesh the fw, and just now I prefer spending more time than .
kobopatch is only as elaborate as you need it to be. You can still use it the old way (by changing the file directly), and you only need to update when you feel like it. I'm always careful to avoid breaking previously-working patches or features, and even spent a whole 2 months of waiting to make sure. kobopatch isn't anymore likely to cause issues than patch32lsb. Also note that the main reason why mine seems to iterate faster is because I make the changes more visible (to prevent confusion) instead of just changing it without saying anything.

In addition, I strongly recommend you try out the new features, as they really do make things simpler. Here are the only changes I need to make to the patch zips to configure it the way I want.

Also, @GeoffR, I've finished making the tool you requested (it took me ~10 minutes), and released it in kobopatch v0.9.2. It's called kobopatch-apply, and has the same syntax you requested. If you need anymore tools, I'd be happy to help.
