because management tools makes the life simpler i have tried this one with your template.
and i like it.

the installation and usage is straight forward.

• install the plugin
• follow the guided initial setup

the configuration is a bit more complex for this template.
the plugin depends on a json that is a write-down of all metadata fields. basically a schema file.

i have creating a PoC frontmatter.json (attachment) file which tells VSCode / the plugin how thinks work.
frontmatter.json

this needs to be inside the project root.

after that there are UI elements within VS with suggestions for tags or categories, mandatory fields and field type validation.

maybe you want give it a try.

for front matter to work reliably every already existing markdown file does need a new value:
type: {{type}}

where 'type' is the corresponding frontmatter.json definition

Yes, Frontmatter for VS Code is good tool. But it relies on a central media repository which is not completely compatible with all the options the theme offers for images.

I haven't tried recently, but it should work with the theme if you don't use the enhanced layout options and image captions.
