Nice to have, particularly for more complex products. Would help set up the product structure, part mass (using volume) and materials if CS material library can be matched to CAD material libraries. Still requires a lot of manual input of information that can’t be taken from the CAD model (processes, sourcing, transportation, use, end of life), so this feels like more of an efficiency feature to me.

Integration with FEA simulation would be really helpful so you can see the durability / strength impact of material changes, and therefore if you need to adjust the material quantity or anything alongside it

And others. Some will be more willing to work with you than others I imagine. Onshape and Fusion and arguably the most forward thinking. Autodesk do some cool stuff too
