I am attempting to create some standardized Site Columns and Content Types that would be accessible in any of the Sites that full under the /Sites tier of the template (Including the ones that belong to O365Groups/Teams). Some of these are dependent upon source lists and therefore, the Content Type Hub is not an option because the list would have to be replicated into each of the /Sites Subsites. How are other amazing SharePoint gurus getting round this architecture? I've always created my SC's and CT's at the root of the domain, but when I created them at the http://tenant.sharepoint.com site, they were not visibile in the /Sites node. Thanks in advance!

The sites are created when a Team is created, and I don't use scripts... :( Everything Out of the Box! but thank you for replying!

You may have seen this because you were creating sub-sites in the past and if you created columns or content types at the "root," they would be visible in all the sub-sites. In the flat world of modern SharePoint where each team site and comm site are independent site collections, the current way to share Content Types across sites would be via the Content Type Hub. That said, if you want to share values for a column that you create on each site, you can use tenant-wide managed metadata.

It's possible to manually create columns in the hub and "reuse" them in team sites if the columns have exactly the same name.
Example
1. Create a column in the hub site and name it "MyDocTypeChoice"
2. Rename it to a friendly name, like "Document Type". The internal name is still "MyDocTypeChoice".
3. Create a column in the hub connected team site with the same: MyDocTypeChoice"
4. Rename the team site column to "Documnet Type"
The document property (column) follows Office documents and is displayed in all libraries that have a MyDocTypeChoice column.
Works fine with choice columns btw.
