One thing that still bothers me about Adwaita is the huge amounts of blank/white space around some widgets like list items and enormous padding on buttons. I wish for a way to easily customize this.

I believe all GTK3 themes are CSS so you might be able to edit the padding manually. However, this goes against it being easy to customize.

  It also quite undocumented so you spend a day or two googling around and breaks on random minor updates when the package manager overwrites your changes again. Sounds fun.

    They will probably never document it because they don't think anybody should change it. On the other hand, I can't stand invisible borders and I always need to increase the border grab range. So just a good, highly-googleranked blogpost would be nice. I think the "correct" way is to copy the theme from /usr/share/themes to ~/.themes and make your changes there, then it won't break if the package manager updates them.

I booted up Fedora Rawhide from a flash drive last week, and the padding on buttons was significantly reduced. I think it was 3.13.2.
