Have you tried altgr-intl layout? us-altgr-intl is a variety that exposes accented characters through AltGr-combinations. I have to type in Scandinavian, Germanic, French and Latin languages and they're all covered. As a bonus it's consistent between platforms, included by default on all distros I know of, and except the Altgr-combinations it's just like the vanilla layout.

If you're on X11 you can try out the en-us variant by

  setxkbmap -layout "us" -variant altgr-intl

It’s a good step, yes! A life saver if you often need to type accented letters or weird letters. What bugs me is the difference between Alt and AltGr, which is very annoying. Alt is much better located for this.
