You don't seem to respect the old, venerable, well-tested adage: "once your shell script becomes too complex, switch to a real programming language like python".
Or, the zen version (formally equivalent, but with quite a different tone): "once your program becomes sufficiently simple, turn it into a beautiful shell script".
The true power of shell script is to coordinate programs. Once you find yourself altering data with the shell constructs, that's the sign to use $LISP instead.

one might awk how much logic one can bash into a script before leaving the beloved shell
