Automated self-hosted music setup? (alien.top)

Let me preface this by saying I have a somewhat working setup right now, but it's the automation that's lacking.

I use Navidome for hosting and am happy with how it works and performs, so switching that is out of the question.

Currently, Lidarr is used to organize my music. I haven't really found anything else as easy to use. I don't really have access to or ratio on trackers to grab the FLACs that I want. So for all intents and purposes, assume that Lidarr does NOT download. It also cannot re-tag (just rename) - because in case it did grab something, this would break torrent hashes.

What I'm looking for is an automatic or semi-automatic way to add new types of downloads into this setup. Think: SoulSeek, Bandcamp purchases, downloads via streaming services, ytl-dlp etc. The source doesn't matter. This stuff can (and probably should) get re-tagged and renamed by Lidarr. I want to keep this in the same library.

How do you guys have your music set up?

Do you see any way to have "external" sources managed by Lidarr, without splitting libraries?

Is there any cool, additional software I should know about?
