Should fix my code to use SYMBOLICATE instead or should
FORMAT-SYMBOL
use WITH-STANDARD-IO-SYNTAX?
Any opinions?

Using W-S-IO-S in FORMAT-SYMBOL sounds reasonable to me.
This has not been done, and is still needed. In particular, osicat-sys
has (alexandria:format-symbol t "~A-~A" name '#:designator).
