I’m wondering if there is some sort of way to map textures so that they always align a certain way in the “long” direction of an object. I’m also thinking about just making all my wood planks blocks (with textures locked somehow?).
Do you actually have to adjust your textures for every scene, or create a “custom” texture if your object is at a different angle? Or is there a smarter way to do this?
In Rhino 7 you can add an OCS frame to ensure for WCS and WCS (Box) the texture stays pinned to the object. Do this in the texture mapping properties panel of an object.

Something wrong here - try this in Reytraced mode.

Remove the Box mapping and ensure the OCS frame is close to your object. Also, it appears the order of setting the OCS frame axes has an effect.
I have an open bug for that, but I won’t be looking into that until current work on upgrading Cycles is done.
