I havent really been able to produce reliable and satisfying results using modifiers, since its always destorted the holes.

Hi Pascal, these kind of things are indeed hard to get right.
So far, I found the best way to do it is, to use the Tissue Addon (in the Extensions). I get Errors in 5.0, but it works fine in 4.5LTS.
Make your desired shape and Remesh it (to get more or less evenly sized Faces). It's a bit hard to show, but here's Suzanne Tessalated with a simple octagon:
Note: use Relative Thickness in the Tissue Settings.
Would something like this work? (Curve/Knots/Celtic Links)
Or this is another cruder technique
