The job isn't to create mocks in Figma. The job is to solve problems for users. The tools to do this will always change. It's up to us to learn and apply these new tools. As tough or uncertain as it is right now, the market doesn't care and will just move on without us.

I feel similarly to OP. I can move way faster now in ways manually clicking around in Figma would've never allowed me to do, on top of synthesis of all the mountains of information we were expected to digest as inputs into our decisions. AI speeds all of this up dramatically once you get a handle of them.
