It's annoying you can't just "flatten" or "bake" such an svg like yours into one composed entirely of elements (unless one exists?)

Often you can open the SVG in a browser and then use the developer tools to copy out the resulting nodes as "flat" SVG source code.

Chrome even includes a --dump-dom flag you can use to do this on the command line, although I haven't tested it with an SVG.

Clever!
