You make a great point about missing .save().

Mark (our team member) has advocated for a callback-based API that looks a lot like what you landed on. It has the advantage of removing an import too!

Question: how do you solve the 'draft' state issue that remolacha mentioned?

I haven’t seen a better solution than remolacha’s #2 (create separate temporary state for the form).

Forms just inherently can have partially-finished/invalid states, and it feels wrong to try and kraal model objects into carrying intermediary/invalid data for them (and in some cases won’t work at all, eg if a single form field is parsed into structured data in the model)

Exactly that. It’s tempting to try to combine them - we’ve all been there. They’re subtly but inherently different, in my experience.
