I also normaly use 2 separate ops on steel-parts and thats often there I use chipthinning.
But thats mainly because we use 2 different cutters for roughing/finishing

The facing-op HAS finishing-feed but the quirk is that its impossible to use in certain cases, like with chipthinning activated.

One idea, for the developers, would be adding a field for percentage of cutting-feed for lead in/out.
So if you type in 90% there the lead-in feed populates with 900 with a cutting-feed at 1000. and of course the opposite. (type in 950 in the feedrate-field and the percentage gets calculated)

When the feed changes, like when the toolpath switches to finishing the lead-in gets adjusted by the same amount as for the roughing-cuts

The fact that chipthinning uses both roughing and finishing-feed in the same pass must be a bug
