How does this benefit me after the initial MVP build? Most of my time in conversation with Designers is spent guiding them back to the same set of reusable components, reminding them we already have a way of doing X, and should be as consistent as possible.

We feel the same way and actually started doing this with colors. There's a guideline section in the app where designers create a color palette, define all the colors that they'll be using. This way, when you're looking at the designs, you can instantly see if there's a color that is not defined in the palette.

We've heard back from a lot of designers using Zeplin saying that they're now more cautious about which colors they use. We're now working on a similar feature for reusable UI components.
