This is similar to what we tried (and failed) to achieve with Blocks UI[0] at Gatsby.

The critical piece almost all current-gen UI editing tools are missing is that there needs to be a sync between changes in the code and changes in the design. John Otander and Chris Biscardi built a complex system based on Babel to manage syncing visual changes to the code.

I wonder how Utopia solved this! How do you "move" the visual changes made in the editor to the code?
