I know the "technology-specific implementation" is optional, but one thing that bugs me (as a designer) is that no design system I've ever used has had any ability to tell me where, how often, or even whether a particular component is in use in the production UI. So if I wanted to change it, what's the impact? Nor can I tell by looking at the production UI whether something that looks like a component is actually one, or just an "impostor" that won't change if the component I've changed is updated.
A possible exception to this is some CMS systems I've dealt with that can sometimes tell you this, but they don't typically cover the whole of the product's UX. But I do wish the tech stacks would recognize this issue.
