Unfortunately, computing those rectangles is annoying, and also O(n^2) in the number of rectangles

With the right data structures and algorithms, it doesn't have to be.

​I mean this in a fundamental, mathematical sense. With O(n) rectangles, you can produce O(n^2) regions that cannot be decomposed into fewer than O(n^2) disjoint rectangles.
