My setup is different in that I use one org-file per article, but I use
org publish for my website.

You can find it on https://hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/draketo/browse

Check :-)

I don’t have that. Instead I have the function M-x draketo-go that
enables quick ido-completion for all sites.

Mostly yes. See https://www.draketo.de

I just use
#+html: <div class="...">
...
#+html: </div>

Also @@html:<span class="foo">@@ ... @@html:</span>@@

or

#+begin_kasten

#+end_kasten

(custom block with its own shortcut and style)
