Given a hypothetical folder structure like this:

What's the best way to integrate all the subtitles into the corresponding MKV file?

If you arent afraid of remuxing: use mkvtoolnix
Optionally has a GUI.

Juat so you know: If the name is identical to the mkv + the suffix .de.sub some media libraries automatically detect them and you can use them as is without altering the media file.
Jellyfin for example lists the file as "Ger Sub - External" in the subtitle list.
Just make sure to stay consistent or use sonarr/bazarr instead.
