I'm sure you've probably already tried it, but nothing I could find works as you want.
Unlike you, when I exported a timeline (as FCPXML 1.9) audio did import properly. Some of the video was substituted by black clips -- they were clips I'd done Fusion or other work on in my timeline, which I assume you wouldn't do.
I even tried exporting metadata, which exports as a CSV. (Which is actually pretty cool, since you can also import metadata as well.) Unfortunately: a) I couldn't find a way to import this to FCPX, and b) I'm not sure how it handles compound clips or clips with off-camera audio that's been sync'd.
Is the DR re-import really an issue? Couldn't you essentially import FCPX's XML into a totally new and distinct DR project and it would work just as it does now when things originate in FCPX or Premiere? (I.e. what housekeeping that you originally did in DR would not make it to FCPX in such a way that the usual FCPX XML export would not get it back to DR? Seems like you don't need to worry about that. But unfortunately, DR to FCPX is a problem.
And just to clarify, the assistant wouldn't be editing, coloring, doing VFX or anything else in DR. It's just to organize, name, and sync things so the FCPX editor can jump in?
