And that may well be possible, but I think you would end up
with a program that wouldn't work like people wanted and that would
need major work later on.

Right - but that's the SIMPLEST part of the program!
First thing you need to do is determine the metaphor - are
you a "slide-based" tool or an "outline-based" one? Each has
advantages and disadvantages...
Then you should consider how "masters" work. Are they
initial "templates" or are they true "style sheets"? Also, how do
you track per-slide changes to template elements - or don't you?
etc...
