Pull changes made in Gutenberg back into Oxygen

This might be a long-shot, but I'd really like to be able to pull changes made in the Gutenberg editor back into Oxygen. Even though the concept of the Gutenberg integration is awesome, I find I'm resisting actually using it with clients. There's just something unsettling with having 2 versions of a page. I think it's that you lose the holistic view of the page when editing it. When in Oxygen, you no longer have a feel for the flow of the copywriting. It's separating the design from the copy. I get that this is probably preferred for pages that follow a particular template, but it's not as ideal for custom one-off pages or landing pages in particular, where design + copy are closely integrated. I'd be totally cool with keeping the default functionality, but I think it'd be super handy if there was a button/option to update Oxygen with what's been changed in Gutenberg. In fact, based on the feedback in the FB group, I think it's a small change that would result in a significant increase in usage of the integration. P.S. Live Editor Pro (https://waas-pro.com/live-editor-pro-oxygen/) does provide similar functionality - but there are of course some downsides like it being a separate subscription and not being native to Oxygen (thus not guaranteeing stability). It's also done in the front-end and not through Gutenberg, which isn't a pro or con, but might fit different use-cases. EDIT: Also, it's probably obvious, but this would only apply for full pages being edited in Gut
