This is typical for DTP.. Depending on your environment, you can drag from
the desktop to the canvas though to reduce the load.

Placing image and text frames on master pages where content can be placed to
the applied-to pages will come in a future version of Scribus.

Also coming in a future version of Scribus is frame styling (to extend the
existing line styles which you could in fact use now for part of your
setup.)
