Well, I did this setup before the stackbit integration was announced. I did want to try that, but haven't found time yet. Yes it indeed looks like a better flow to do this. On the other hand this still gives me a lot of control. But I think it should be possible to combine best of both. I'll try to do it sometime soon.
Please, give your thoughts after that π I like the resulting setup of this integration, and interested if other developers find this useful and what pros/cons do they see
Yes, your summary sounds fair, at least my impression of that was kind of similar. Some guys here use CI for GitHub repos where their *.md posts are to automate posting to several targets (using DEVβs API also), probably that could work too. I would take a look at GitHub actions for that.
I made some updates to my workflow and I think its perfect now. I can now author posts in my Git repo codebase on VsCode and publish to my site which automatically create/update posts in Dev.to
The links are also smarter now and point to appropriate sites.

Given it was too easy to try, I just tried here is what I think.
So I think I'm still gonna stick with my setup and improve it further to do more.
I have these in mind to remove manual steps:

I did these using a Jekyll pre-render hook and a nodeJs script triggered from my publish script
Looks very cool, thanks for sharing π
