Would it be possible for the dev team to create stat blocks for the various swarms of insects featured in the Monster Manual (e.g. swarm of spiders, swarm of centipedes, etc.)
Yeah. This can be in addition to the campaign variants being made.
At the very least the Variant: swarm of insects options need to be displayed in the monster description even if it means as second version of swarm of insects unlocked with MM.
Does "campaign variants" include creatures such as the "fiendish spider", "deep gnome acolyte", and "deep gnome priest" ? These are all mentioned in Out of the Abyss ch. 6 but no current stat blocks. Simply says to use stats block of "x" creature and add features.

These are exactly the kinds of variants they are making. They probably just haven't gotten to these yet. I imagine it is quite a lengthy process.

D&D Beyond FoundersGood news! We're already working through adding them all - just haven't got to those yet. :)

Woo-hoo.
I knew all campaign variants were being added for encounter builder for pre-made encounters, but wasn't sure about variants from rulebooks.
