Can you make an addin of addins?

I'm new to the C# world and am in the process of designing a recoding structure of sorts for an existing Addin I support on ArcMap 10.x that was written in Java.  Some of the pieces of that addin were compiled as individual .jar files and making updates to those were easy enough to just export the .jar and pop the updated one into the lib folder for the addin to read.  The rest, however, were all rolled into the addin, so any change to any of the pieces necessitated a rebuild of the entire addin. 

Moving forward with this, I think we're looking to recode the addin to C# for ArcGIS Pro (3.3->3.5) but transfer as much of the functionality of Extension A, Tool B, etc into Python for the Addin to execute. 

Is there some suggested way to go about this (turning the Python somehow into a .dll for the C# addin to read/call?) or can you make each extension/tool its own Addin to be read by the parent (there's either an MFA or DB login that will need to be done at the front end to use the parts)?

Please refer to the docs/samples for utilizing the Python script and Geoprocessing in the ArcGIS Pro Addin for .NET.
