IMO (and I may be off base), it should be possible to use Loader, which will have a standard set of predictable results (which should be detailed in the docs), and then only write your own classes for the parts you need to change / expand. Some flag should possibly set whether the user-created classes replace or extend the Loader ones .. ?
FWIW, that's what I do in my home-grown CDBI/Maypole loader. It works well for me. I haven't needed to replace any automatically-generated classes; I just override individual methods. For example, I define an alternate semantics for find_or_create in my base class and override the method in those classes where it's appropriate (some classes have special change-logging built in that alters how the find part of find_or_create needs to work).
It would be nice when I get around to migrating to find that DBIC already has the mechanism :)
