I still feel like this is better than the alternative--specificity gives me descriptions and situations to use when describing things to players, and if I want to replace them with my own details I still generally can without many knock-on effects (although I almost wish there was more inter-omen connectivity).
There's also still a ton of connective tissue that a realm wants once it's been initially generated--a pass where you make the omens and sites and knights and everyone all connect to each other and exist as part of a coherent whole. That's where the personal creativity gets injected, in my mind.
