I'm not sure I understand why you are bothered by the low-level
details of buffer text implementation.  You shouldn't need to
manipulate it at a level lower than calling the functions implemented
in insdel.c.  And as I wrote elsewhere in this thread, I don't yet
understand why Lisp primitives like 'insert' and 'delete-region'
aren't good enough.
