I would argue that all of what you just said is your designer failing you. For us, we defined the base sizing and colors beforehand and the designer works from there. We also use named color variables and themes in Figma such that an element with a background color shows the named color so I can just type in the same name in TW. Putting design and development at the same table on day one and getting both sides to speak the same language definitely speeds development and I really do think your life would be better for it. While your designer has you stuck picking 8px, 10px or 12 px, my source mocks are just .5rem or 1 rem and I can look at a design at this point and add the right value without even checking. You deserve better from your designer; them being 'freeform' is just them doing whatever feels cool this week and a whole lot of inconsistent values.
