Default XLR connectors may be too large.

If you're going to build something that can fit in your pocket, you need to
design it so that it can go through the washing machine without damage,
because sooner or later it will.


Yep.

Or you could just put 8 XLRs in one RU like all the prosumer D/A/A/D
modules in the world.


There are standard DB-25 configurations for that too. They work well if you
use the proper machined pin plugs and sockets.


I'd rather ( for some reason ) not have to keep up with the harness.

IMO, you're just pushing the problem out to a patchbay. That could be
cool, it could be not-cool. Depends.

They are somewhat delicate
for field work, but less so than Elcos.
