"but it is totally inefficient in reaching the end goal of a usable, functional product."

Why? Inefficient, yes your opinion but this does not prove this process would not yield a usable product.

Your comment makes me wonder how we ever got to where we are today with computers.

It's definitely possible to design a great product with a very manual design process, but you can also write a great novel using pen and paper. Computers make a lot of things a lot easier, and you should leverage them when they make sense. (like for instantly making exact copies of designs you make, or even better making slight variations along the way.)
