Seperating editor and runtime data with ScriptableObjects

My goal is to have a very strong separation between my editor and runtime code, and I t$$anonymous$$nk I may have ac$$anonymous$$eved t$$anonymous$$s. In my current implementation I am using two ScriptableObjects, one that is in the assets folder, and the other in the editor folder. The object in the asset folder holds the processed data, and the editor folder object handles serializing all the unprocessed data. For the most part everyt$$anonymous$$ng seems to work fine with t$$anonymous$$s.

My main concern is with how I am attac$$anonymous$$ng the objects together. Currently I am attac$$anonymous$$ng the editor object as a sub-asset to the runtime asset, and I'm concerned with how Unity might treat t$$anonymous$$s in a build. Will the sub-asset cause an error, because the script couldn't be found? Am I fine if I just don't access it? Or maybe due to it being a sub-asset I'm not maintaining separation? I really would just like to know if my solution is a reasonable one, and if it isn't - is there a better one?
