I use Kikit for exactly this. The pro's on here are better at thinking ahead than me - I end up iterating by boards and components so having the schematics as hierarchical sheets and the PCBs in one file makes sure I don't cross-wire or mess up the connectors between mother and daughter boards etc.
but most/all links I find on sites like adafruit point to https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools
If you mean that KiCad needs dark mode, this can be done using a combination of GTK (or QT?) color themes, which are associated with your system configuration, not KiCad, and color themes for the editing tools, which can be changed in the preferences menu. I found some reasonable options here [1], but if you're picky (like I am), you can write (or generate) your own. In the current version of KiCad, you can choose between themes (files in the appropriate directory) with a drop-down menu in the KiCad preferences, rather than editing the default configuration.
Project mention: UPDATED -- Review Request - ESP32-based board monitoring 24VAC w/ I2C, 1wire | /r/PrintedCircuitBoard | 2023-07-06My CICD is done with KiBot - https://github.com/INTI-CMNB/KiBot and my pipeline templates are https://github.com/gcormier/kicad-jobs

You can see it in action in tests here (remember to expand rows too see results) or by some examples here
New KiCad install seems to already have in it's default repo https://github.com/bennymeg/JLC-Plugin-for-KiCad
I just took a look at inventree... super cool looking stuff. I actually also found this https://github.com/sparkmicro/Ki-nTree I guess someone had the same idea as me, but with a better execution lol.
I really like svg2mod which lets you create multi layer KiCad footprint files converted from Inkscape (or whatever tool you like for svg).
there is more. This plugin is a base for another, slightly more experimental tool of mine: https://github.com/adamws/keyboard-tools which I host of lowest tier linode server accessible here: https://keyboard-tools.xyz/
