How to use the same parent material
for different textures in UI

You, kind of, answered your own question.

  • each widget holds an instance editable 2D Texture variable
  • when Initialised (or Construct, or Pre-Construct - depends what you do with the widgets), have that widget create a Dynamic Material Instance and pipe in the said var as a material parameter

Hope I understood you right.

I have been using Sprite before, but there are a lot of textures that have been made on the art side, and now they want to replace all of them with dynamic materials containing the original texture.
