Multi-layer asset management in studio environment (AI)

Posted this to the Adobe forums as well, but thought maybe someone here might have come insights...

I work with a team of 10 designers, producing product and packaging for stationery, electronics and toys. We work 98% of the time exclusively in Illustrator.

We need an elegant and robust system for creating, sharing and updating a range of product warnings across swing tags, sew in labels and printed packaging.

Ideally this would be a localised asset bank that automatically updates across our team when any changes are made.

At first glance, Libraries looked good, but we need layer continuity for dielines and artwork (Libraries currently flattens unless I'm missing something). Also in a perfect world text would remain live.

We've tried Symbols and found they are not an option due to the number of assets we require. Currently we share a master .ai file, but with new products and warnings on the horizon I'm looking for a better solution...
