As usual, engineers overblow the maintenance cost of using conditionals for the sake of "efficiency." Mobile often lacks features of desktop and this is GOOD. Mobile can NEVER be what desktop is, and when is, it annoys users with complexity. So having seperate-ish layouts is perfectly fine (the bootstrap way.) Further, rebuilding something is always a waste of time because all software dies one day. Let it die and use new tech next time you start a project from scratch. Also maybe have a chat about the mobile view before you start? Every single problem in this post could be solved by 1. Having a conversation 2. Following the path of least resistance No engineering solution required. engineers just want to feel important. I get it.
