There's no way around thinking about your use-cases and you're not going to convince designers to not want to see what the end product actually looks like.
Stipulating that point, though, perhaps the solution is to keep designers at a higher level of granularity -- to have them produce designs for "large screen", "small screen", "mobile", "print", &c., including general ideas of how body text shall appear, but leave the more granular detail to someone who's not so much wedded to pixel-perfection, but instead understands that the same content will necessarily look different when differently rendered, and who can understand and accommodate those differences to produce a result that works well across all of them.
It is almost as funny as the request that a logo must use the "Pantone 1337" color. It probably is not representable in RGB and nobody has a color-calibrated screen.
The text you are writing will be read on smartphones, tables, PCs, and TV. It will have different layouts, e.g. depending on screen size. Which one do you want to preview?
