"Is there any tooling out there for stacked diffs?"
Now there is! is building this and just raised their $20M Series A, in which I also participated as an investor.
They're a team of 6, and hiring fast - a great time to join! Details: graphite.dev/blog/post/EjK7

A very efficient+convenient workflow that is unbeknown/unavailable outside few large tech companies: stacked diffs.
You break up your PR in several, stacked changes ready to be pushed to master. Once reviewed, they all land on master.
As used at Meta, Uber & many other places.
