For the awning issue in particular, we used to do something similar in another system. You just end up making arbitrary distinctions in your variants. e.g. 500-1000mm W add $10, 1000-1500m add $20 and same for depth. I did that for 20 years and still have 1 customer doing like that. In fact even for all the advancement with DSL's etc mentioned above, 90% of pricing still internally follows that pattern. The main reason being is that other peoples systems can't handle truly dynamic dimensions at the invoice level and needs the arbitrary partcodes and distinctions.
Our manufacturers price their products in size buckets as you describe above, but we order bespoke products with precise measurements.
Do you have or know about a module that let define dimensions on products and on variants ? Because most things with awnings can be done with variants ( fabric color, alu color, operation mode ) but there is no possibility to have an attribute that let you specify a dimension as an integer value. The same for products. In for example wood products, you sell pieces but the price is in meter and the length is a parameter you must provide. Sometimes you also have a product with fixed dimensions ( a profile or a plate ), price in m of m², where you can sell as a hole or cut to dimensions ( with sometimes an extra fee as % for cutting ). A solution for these situations would be all is needed I think for a lot of use cases.
Have you experimented with the sale_product_configurator module and the product.attribute.custom.value model?
