It might be illustrative to actually build a design system for a production application and see how you'd improve the process and tool chain. I have to say most of what you're suggesting strikes me as incorrect.

I work full time on Design Systems for production applications and have for many years.

Check out https://interplayapp.com/ for a different take on how design systems should be created for use in Figma.

I think it’s telling that Figma can’t really do any of this natively and there’s a whole ecosystem of companies surrounding Figma trying to help it actually Do The Job. Zeroheight and Storybook/Chromatic being the other obvious examples.
