I feel vaguely similarly about the 3.x D&D variant magic Incantations rules.
Sometimes I long for a system of rules that covers everything from researching a new spell to creating magic items under a single unified system.
But time I attempt to cobble one together it ends up getting impractically complicated.

Haven't looked through it yet, but saw a video where someone pointed out this little system for gaining crafting resources from creatures:

Seemed like it might potentially be useful in this context.
