I am still exploring options for solving this problem, but my goal is have a set of paragraphs that are automatically added to new nodes of a specific content type. 

For example, new articles automatically come with the following paragraphs placed for the content editor to edit and then add new paragraphs or delete unnecessary one. 

Any ideas the best way to do this?

I got this suggestion in Zulip:

It would change your admin's workflow, but you could pretty easily create a node of the type in question and populate the paragraphs as you want, using it as a starter. You'd need to install Replicate and Replicate UI and Replicate Paragraphs, but then you'd have a "Replicate" tab that would create a duplicate to work from.
