Will it be possible to manually position the nodes? Ideally, manually position some nodes and auto-layout the rest.

This discussion reminds me a lot of graphviz. Similar issues and (IIRC) proposed solutions.

Mermaid could do well to learn from Graphviz. It’s much older and a lot of thought has been put into rendering. It’s the most powerful graph rendering engine that I’m aware of and for anything more than a little complex it’s really the only option to produce something even readable.
