Back in 2015, to celebrate the release of Resurrection F, V-Jump released a full color art book to promote the film that gives you artwork from Toriyama along with bits of information regarding the characters.
As you can see here, Toriyama makes mention of Saiyan's being able to attain God-like levels of power without changing form (Saiyan Beyond God) but then going SS to attain a new level of power (SSGod SS). If this is meant to count for the anime and even the manga (with SSGod replacing Saiyan Beyond God, obviously) this would resolve quite a few of the issues regarding how Goku & Vegeta's powers work.
Do bear in mind that this was written when Resurrection F was a thing, back when Goku & Vegeta weren't far off from Beerus and couldn't use the golden SS line anymore so the possibility of a silent retcon isn't entirely off the table.
