Have any of you tried the stacks module? https://www.drupal.org/project/stacks
We used paragraphs a lot in D7 but have been using stacks in D8. It has a neat approach of allowing you to define multiple templates option and colors schemes for each widget (entity) type. So you could have one image and body widget and the user can decide if the image should be on the left or right or top based on predefined templates and you can set color schemes based on the site design for them to choose from as well. I also much prefer the edit interface.

Justin - I have not tried stacks, but will take a look at it.   We have also recently learned about Bricks.
