config structure simplification

[pilgreen]

What does this PR do?

This is a different sort of thing that what we've been doing. Instead of reviewing a specifc workflow for specific output, how do you feel about just messing with the configs a bit locally to see how they feel? This will not merge into main. I've created a new rc-v2 branch to gather all the updates for the next version.

I've got you both on here for feedback, and am simply looking for a thumbs up meaning "good enough for now let's proceed," or a chat about how we'd like to change it. There will be more changes down the line.

Side note Julia, I was able to pick the branch I want this to merge into when making this PR.

Hi Jay! This is looking good to me! I really like that the cadence is at the top of the file. Just for clarification, what exactly does the "cue" number represent (as seen in the story config file)?

@pilgreen This is nice! Didn't run into any issues in testing.
