This would still make the already-complicated startup process even
more complicated.

Changing /etc/zshenv is not necessary.  One can easily

    - put all the startup files in $HOME/.config/zsh
    - set ZDOTDIR=$HOME/.config/zsh in $HOME/.config/zsh/.zshenv
    - symlink $HOME/.config/zsh/.zshenv to $HOME/.zshenv

(Or something similar.)
