What about the idea which at first looks pretty cool but end-up at worst not bringing anything to the game at worst being boring to play ?

From the player’s perspective this is a rough one as well. There’s nothing more disappointing than to roll up a crafty character only to discover that the campaign has break-neck pacing to prevent rest spam, but also incidentally preventing any downtime for crafts.

Very much this. It’s basically the “hacker movie” problem in tabletop form. Actual making involves a ton of time and most of it is boring (even if the results are amazing). It’s very difficult to translate this into the pace of a story while still making it interesting. To do so you often have to engage in flights of complete fancy, like the competitive code writing scenes in hacker movies.

This was a problem for Mad Scientists in Deadlands. Some builds took months or years to create, and when time is of the essence, no new toys for you, scientist!
