No, what you now see in Gimp 2.9.x is what you get in Gimp 2.10 so it is no good even asking the developers to include such a facility.
Looking at the roadmap I kindly pointed you to, there is a 'smartobjects' but this is listed under 'Future' some time after Gimp 3.2 Do not hold you breath.
Looking at the video you referenced. Alchemy it is open source but the last development version was 2014 Looks like the project is at best stalled, maybe dead.
However, the first couple of seconds and those filled shapes 'rang a bell' You might get something out of Krita.
I am no artist, at best a simple landscape, so just some random shapes (with symmetry) as an example.

One of the snags with Krita is it does not support exporting Gimp .xcf Usually needed when text is required, Krita text is less-than-wonderful. In that event, layers can be exported using OpenRaster format (ora) which Gimp can import.
