show us your 'creative' system so you don' have to remove what is on top to get what's below in a chest freezer.
I challenge you to do better.
How about:
- shelves that raise vertically - shelves that swing up and out to the sides or front (bet gas shocks could work for easily moving shelves) - preplanning so that your meal ingredients for the week are on top
As with many things, you can change your surroundings or change your behavior.

That way it all stays in the chest
If you were not blessed with sliding shelves, people typically uses bins or dividers
In practice you keep “the gap” over the part of the floor with the greatest cooling capacity and put your quick turnover “inserted warm” items on the bottom layer there. They cool fastest and are easy to get to.
That's kinda what big door shelves are accomplishing in upright fridges, of course, and I have no idea how robust a riser mechanism would be over time, so I'm not sure how much better that is.
