Comment:

 Relevant is the WP-LESS plugin by Robert O'Rourke:

 https://github.com/sanchothefat/wp-less

 Using just PHP is auto-compiles theme LESS files that are enqueued on the
 front and backend, allows inserting LESS variables via filter/hook too,
 seems to be in use by a number of experience people.

 A similar plugin also exists called WP-SASS:

 https://github.com/sanchothefat/wp-sass

 I can't comment on how stable or its feature set however as I haven't used
 it, but it's by the same person and follows the same train of thought.

 If we were to SASS'ise or LESS'ise the admin css, doing it in a plugin
 coupled with one of these, and de-queueing the existing stylesheets is one
 possible route for testing/prototyping ( that removes the need for ruby )
