> Even if you create a sub-module layout that you include in every project you work on... that's still n slightly different permutations of the same thing, even if they are all perfect. (They aren't.)

Part of hardware design is letting go of your neuroses. The real world isn't a perfect place. You operate with the situation you have for the design at hand.

Ask yourself why you really need everything to be the exact same.

Laying down a handful of capacitors, a single of QSPI flash, and a crystal should become second nature to anyone professionally practicing in this field.. it should take 30 seconds to position and rotate these components near the appropriate pins and not too much longer to route (minutes at most if you've done it before for this MCU.)
