Conda said all this as well, and solved the same issues you’re trying to - namely precompiled versions of difficult to build packages. It then went commercial.

In the HPC space there are already Easybuild and Spack which make all the compiler tool chain and C and Fortran library dependency stuff very easy. They just haven’t taken off outside as they aim to solve cluster management problems but Spack is easy to self serve.
