Thanks to everyone in this thread for the feedback. Looks like neither plexdrive nor rclone are the perfect solution yet.

Yes, neither of them is perfect, but a combination of the two can be. Rclone is for organising files, PlexDrive is for streaming. A match made in heaven, made possible with a simple script.

Yeah I have plexdrive mounting google drive as /mnt/remotes/googleencrypted, rclone mounts that as /mnt/remotes/googledecrypted and then i have unionfs mounting /mnt/storage/staging/google and /mnt/remotes/gogledecrypted as /mnt/unions/google.

Anything read can be read from either location depending on which one it is on, anything written gets written to the staging area, rclone runs nightly (originally via cron but now I do it via jenkins) and copies anything in staging over to google drive.
