I don't think future hybrids in TLS will be anything even close to the
mess that TLS 1.2 ciphersuites are.

The one part that could be problematic is multiple choices for classical
group to hybrizide with. That could be addressed with share compression
in client hello.

Probably simplest such scheme is allowing replacing first/second part of
share with group number, and then copying that share from start/end of
the referenced share.
