That is the problem. It can be slaved to the phone but can't be setup separably from the phone or controlled by any app.

What do you mean? It has a "do not disturb" toggle in the control center, always had. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206951

Which means that sleep tracking app can't send you their notifications to wake up. There is also no customization available unless you want to mirror the exact settings of your phone.

Odd. I've been using my series 0 Apple Watch as a wrist based alarm since Sleep ++ was released. I've never, categorically, had the issues you describe. I'm guessing that you don't own one or you've not used one in this way.
FWIW I'm OK with the third party Sleep++ and am not unhappy that it doesn't have a "native" version. I use Runkeeper sometimes instead of the built-in activity app too.

My watch goes into do not disturb mode slaved to my phone.
YMMV, of course.
