Is this a roundabout way of saying you wouldn't have exposed looker to the underlying staged data?
We have two layers within our data warehouse: The ingestion/staging layer, and the organized/cleansed/segmented layer. We only give Looker projects access to the latter.
We still have a lot of chaos within our Looker projects (views with select star, dimensions for every column bc of select star, hard-coded schemas, etc...). Slowly working it out though.
