" ... that slide game where you need to move those little plastic tiles around, with only one empty slot available ..." That's just like living aboard a small sailboat :-)
In my neck of the woods, the traditional solution to tool storage and transportation would be a fairly small wall-hung cabinet that you could fit shoulder straps to and carry like a rucksack - when as a journeyman you would move from one workshop to the next - so not that often ... My impression is that this was more of a notional concept that a practicable solution, because your workbench (also part of your personal tools) would be carted on a (probably rented) wagon, and why would you not let your tools ride on that too?
I used to work for an old master who told me how he got fed-up with his old master because the old git made him carry the tool-cupboard on his back all around town all the time :-) He quit and started his own shop - as one should! This was Oslo in the 1930's ...
The path of designing and building an orderly workshop is perhaps another rite of passage after "the bench". I managed "the bench" but I am currently failing hard at "the orderly workshop".
However, it sounds like you now where everything should go and what everything is, so I suspect you will complete your journey and arrive at your next challenge with a the tool storage solution you desire.

I love the rucksack idea in principle, but I’m certain I couldn’t handle it in practice. My back and legs have already paid their dues. 😂
