Shooting a doc on film without always slating - any ideas to make my life less hellish in post?

Ok, I know this is a ridiculous question and the answer is “just slate“. But hear me out.

I’m making a documentary that involves very sensitive/intimate participants and situations. it will be mostly just animated audio with an amount of 16mm from a crystal sync camera.

I am foreseeing times when slating would be inappropriate or just impossible. I know this is going to be a manual lip sync situation, but I was wondering if there might be any tools to make this easier?

For example, is there a way I could record in and out times via mixer timecode remotely (say, on a phone or iPad) so I at least have a general frame of reference?
