This is why drupal has "blocks" and why our cms is called getsimple.
block layouts can get very complicated.
I think the easiest thing would be for a pages to dynamically load a bunch of text inputs for all its blocks ( in-stead of the 1 content block we have in core ) when a template is loaded that defines blocks. And it could even show a block layout selection.
Templates could be written to use their own pages, or components or file storage as they see fit. But the problem here becomes the decoupling of theme functionality and plugin functionality. A theme alone cannot do this stuff currently.
Now I have asked for input in the develop forum for input that themers might need for this kind of support.
