You mean by having a function per fragment? I don’t think this solves the hard to maintain bit - which is “which fragments should I regenerate/send”, and how do I keep that list up to date as my app evolves.
FWIW I have a potential solution: to show live data in my app I use an SSE stream of OOB swaps. On every relevant change to the database I regenerate the HTML and compare it to the previously generated html to create OOB swaps (including hx-preserve). I send that down so the browser can update.
The same approach could be used for normal POSTs. On a POST generate the HTML before and after modifying the database and diff them to generate OOB swaps.

You might be interested in Datastar [1], which is like htmx but centered around Server-Sent Events. You don't have to do diffing yourself in application code because it's already handled by the framework under the hood through the "idiomorph" DOM morphing algorithm.
