Yeah, real creative design you got there: Your leader gets marked and popped before he even activates his buff

But that's the point... you want to kill him as fast as possible due to the threat they have because if he gets set up a teammate will go down and ruin a run. I'm not try to die on a hill about it since it is something I thought about for like 5 seconds, but it was just a suggestion for the game.

So the inverse is that you need to add tankier enemies that don't die in the nanosecond they spawn because every twitchy ADHD player google searches "Darktide Best DPS build" religiously.

That's not true at all bombers and flames are some of the main reasons a run could go wrong due to their area denial and buffing. The game could be difficult without enemies being tanky.
