You should try PlatformIO. It solves exactly the problem (last line) for known boards. I did some hobby work but your mileage might vary. Caution that it is C++ first platform (rather than C), so if you are having allergic reaction* might try some other toolkits. *Given you initially chose Rust for this, I would have tagged you as someone who is into vibes/feeling good rather than getting things done, and the suggestion would have been wasted on you, but you seem to have learned your lesson so rather than dismiss C++ out of hand, take a look.
