Not necessarily: lisp has CLOS and components (if I am correctly understanding both your and their definition).

I do agree with the premise that FP feels a lot more agile to me, and thus benefits less from a big design-up-front effort.

Lisp with CLOS is in no way Functional Programming. CLOS is the Common Lisp Object System. But even that is already a poor fit with UML, since CLOS is sufficiently different from the message-passing OO paradigm.
