It just seems like a great deal of work. Going back and forth between programs. Node editing tool that comes to mind that I am familiar with is https://forum.daz3d.com/node-positioner-and-grabber and it is quite handy as well as https://forum.daz3d.com/mesh-grabber-bundle-win. This is a great bundle.  These also work great with a pen display or tablet table.  There is also https://forum.daz3d.com/advanced-collective-transform-tools (video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehZQgX29frE, https://forum.daz3d.com/face-to-face-and-virtual-origins (video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f44Cbz5DaFg&t=6s. These are the ones that come to mind.
