Are third party clients against steam tos?
However, Steam has been long offering https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD (command line, no UI) as an alternative to normal Steam Client so you can install that (replaces the current) and add either https://github.com/dmadisetti/steam-tui or https://github.com/DioJoestar/SteamCMD-GUI that uses SteamCMD but offers a functional UI, the alternative you're seeking for.

SteamCMD... Potential for building UI over it?
I know Steam/SteamCMD is not open-source, but I've been curious as to the limitations of the program. A lot of people often complain about the Steam client, and while I personally like it for what it is, I feel like a lot of people might get appeasement if a more open-source program was made. I'm mainly just curious if that's actually possible, or if SteamCMD's limitations are to where it can only do the basic stuff that this program does. Most info I can readily find online is stuff from about 10 years ago, so I don't know how much has changed since then. I know it's mainly meant for servers, but in theory it could be repurposed if it has a lot of the same featureset.

The new Steam UI is and always has been a massive disappointment.
Lucky for you, https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD still works as the No-UI command line interface that's sole purpose is to act as a DRM-checking layer that is stripped from all the bloatware latest Steam Beta offers in the name of fancy. And if you combine that https://github.com/dmadisetti/steam-tui or https://github.com/DioJoestar/SteamCMD-GUI, you'll get yourself a still functional and manageable but not so good looking DIY Steam Client, totally legit.

Steam taking up 3gb of memory? Possible memory leak in the beta branch?
What can you do? Luckily so far https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD (Command Line UI) is still working for the lowest consumption and Players are fighting to keep it alive via Projects like https://github.com/DioJoestar/SteamCMD-GUI or https://github.com/dmadisetti/steam-tui but I'm pretty sure that stupid developer will also convince Gaben to get rid of them sooner or later.

I would kill for a SteamLite client. Something that removes all the bloat and just provides a super lightweight client that downloads and updates games.
I don't think there will be any SteamLite, but for your purpose, you can try SteamCMD: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD For GUI: https://github.com/DioJoestar/SteamCMD-GUI I haven't used it, so I can't tell what problems you might encounter.

Why does steam web helpers have to run and take 900MB even when you have the front end closed??
I assumed it was some kind of alternative steam client, something similar to this (still very alpha) linux one

SteamCMD... Potential for building UI over it?
On the other hand, this application aims to work by using the same closed source libraries from steam, but with an open source UI https://github.com/20PercentRendered/opensteamclient
