Hello Ken and Komia,
a little bit late to the party... I use exactly what you want to achieve on
my recently launched blog https://blog.documatt.com (it's regular Sphinx
project). Front page (index.rst) uses index.html template thanks to
html_additional_pages = { 'index': 'index.html',}
The rest of the blog uses layout.html. I've just created a repo showing it.
It includes output index.html under _build/html/.
