Good Emacs Packages
For working with delimiters, you might want to check out Smartparens or Puni. There are many other packages like these, but those are the two I know about.

ts-movement: a package to navigate the tree-sitter syntax tree (supports multiple-cursors)
I think the following packages would fit your wishlist, as it is very similar to mine. As mentioned in the replies, there is (https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el) and (https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate). I regularly use (https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens).

smart-parens bracket/parens matching is nice

Tree Sitter and the Complications of Parsing Languages
Emacs seems to attract quite a lot of people who want structural code editing. We now have * paredit * smartparens * evil-cleverparens * lispy * symex * combobulate (more?)
-
Lispy / Lispyville for JavaScript?
Smartparens is trying to bring the paradigm of lispy/paredit to other languages, though the reality is that the non-structured syntax of other languages do not offer the best experience.
-
How do I check what functions emacs is evaluating when I type a given character?
If you want to do automatic pairing of Org's markup delimters (which depend on context), I suggest instead trying Smartparens (https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens), which already supports such pairing.
-
Can I force show-paren-mode to be non-global?
If not, there is also show-smartparens-mode from the Smartparens package, which is buffer-local.

My PhD Research Workflow—Emacs Inside
For changing, deleting or adding Latex environments or other delimiters around text I use embrace instead of something like your change-env. With some customization to better support Latex it works pretty much like change-env, only it can't handle labels, and it's also useful generally for any kind of delimiter (punctuation, html tags etc) across Emacs.

How much do you use evil-mode?
- Embrace (the ``xah-insert`` family of commands are not powerful enough for parentheses editing imho, and most of them are extremely useless). I've managed to configure Embrace to behave almost exactly like XFK, just with a wider range of features.

Non evil replacement for evil-surround?
You can try these packages. A bit outdated, but I hope it works: https://github.com/cute-jumper/embrace.el
-
insert-parentheses and more generic functions
https://github.com/cute-jumper/embrace.el This may be what you want. I like it a lot. It's very configurable, comes with a Hydra-like interface but you can also just use the commands in your own keymap, and has a lot of capabilities.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing smartparens and embrace.el you can also consider the following projects:
paredit-everywhere - Enable some paredit features in non-lisp buffers
meow - Yet another modal editing on Emacs / 猫态编辑
lispy - Short and sweet LISP editing
composable.el - Composable text editing for Emacs.
tree-sitter-org - Org grammar for tree-sitter
siege-mode - An emacs minor mode to surround the region with smart delimiters interactively.
hydra - make Emacs bindings that stick around
system - My system configuration
use-package - A use-package declaration for simplifying your .emacs
evil-collection - A set of keybindings for evil-mode
aggressive-indent-mode - Emacs minor mode that keeps your code always indented. More reliable than electric-indent-mode.
ink - LaTeX + Inkscape
