Yeah, I'm in the camp that I don't regret getting the Index myself but I can't bring myself to recommend it to anyone else due to all the issues. And in the "I'd use my rift touch controllers with the index headset if I could" camp.

You could probably go edit the .json files in the steamvr config yourself. Would be a good small project to make a standalone editor UI for those files.

Steamvr's overlay is generally trash, yup. I had to make do with OVRToolkit for a while, but I've been pretty happy with XSOverlay recently. It's the closest you can get to oculus dash on steamvr nowdays.
