My style is to use references in ordinary day to day work, and
back up my whole set of libraries to get a project backup.
I have not got a perfect, low effort solution for sharing and having what is
shared be independent and complete.

The concept of a local library to be created automatically by default is a good idea.
I would create that local library as a project directory rather than in the .sch file.

What about making an external script that will convert both ways, and
document it as one way of using gschem?

By convert both ways, I mean:
1. take a directory named project-libraries and convert it to in-file
symbols, (with an attribute that is the path or URL to the original library),
and create an in-file .sch from it.
2. take an in-file .sch, and update a directory named project-libraries
to include all those symbols.

That would require adding path/URL attribute to all symbols.
That would suggest adding author, revision number  to all symbols.
