No, you can customize it directly from `customize-group'.

Where in the customize buffer do I click or type RET to get
`describe-variable'?

Well, it's a quality of life feature, so of course I'm okay without it.
But I'm not sure what you mean by "complicating commands" given that the
proposal AFAIU is to introduce a specific `customize-describe-variable'
bound to `C-h v' that handles also the unlispified names.

I believe the activity we are engaged in right now is currently as good
as it gets. FWIW, if I had my way, I would for sure close bugs and
feature requests far more enthusiastically than is being done now.
For example, "wontfix" could also be used meaning: "yes, it's an issue
but it's not one we consider worth fixing, if you care enough send a
patch and we will reconsider".
