Oh wow. Well, not that advanced....
... and I use Shotcut <https://shotcut.org/>. Might already be able to do
that kind of typography with it somewhat.

I don't yet understand why you want to create a video with transparent

Well, my video editor has an option of creating a transparent-colored
element where you put a bunch of visual filters, one of those being text,
and being able to place that text anywhere. For each block of text at a
different time, I'd have to kind of repeat the process which can get pretty
complex for longer videos, and I can't keyframe text content in it. I'm
looking to simplify that with ffmpeg if possible (and not have to
chroma-key the black background if there is one).

I think you want subtitles with heavy custom styling, maybe as opposed to

This looks promising actually. Might actually help with most if not
everything I'm looking to do.

Well I actually managed to find a great example... probably should've
provided this initially: https://youtu.be/i3Bno_39qh0

Thank you,
