Thanks so much for the response!
I was wondering if it had been discussed (or was even possible?) to have the dom elements for the Gutenberg controls sit outside the editor-styles-wrapper class element, and get absolute positioned inside editor based on the a Gutenberg wrapper element for the selected/hovered block. I realized it is not a 100% perfect solution, but it certainly would solve the issue I’m having and would allow the add_editor_style function to be more useful. I realize that is no trivial task, but I think something along those lines would ultimately be needed.
Thanks again!
