Description
Based on discussion below:
Turn the wp-admin interface into a kind of help screen or readme that shows exactly where to go in the Site editor and how to make use of the plugin -- this helps keep the visibility of the high level page while removing the duplicate interface.
I like the idea of keeping a wp-admin interface as an onboarding tool for both the plugin and an introduction to building block themes. The information could be focused on how to use the plugin, but also include tips and best practices for building block themes, including things like links to the theme handbook, etc.
Change the wp-admin interface into an onboarding tool containing documentation with room for a wizard interface to introduce new users to the workflow.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the existing wp-admin interface and the discussion describing its onboarding purpose, then compare the workflow with the Site editor and theme handbook references. Done means the interface presents plugin and block-theme guidance as documentation and leaves room for a wizard.
