Is there an option I’m unaware of to generate fingerjoints and the corresponding slots and/or opposite fingerjoints? Perhaps there are other tools out there but an automatic method that takes into account object resizing would be cool. Thanks.
I think Tabs is the Lightburn tool. Resizing changes everything, so you have to be at the right size to begin with. “Right size” means the board thickness, which affects the notch depth and the slot width.
If I get a program that was designed for 3.2mm ply and I have 2.8mm ply, then I resize everything bases on a ratio.
Here is a video that might help you get where you want to go.

This does not exist. It’s not easy to design a tool that can generate arbitrary finger joint connections and resize them afterwards.
If you already have the shapes with joints, you can resize them in LightBurn as Mike suggested.
But you can’t generate them.
There are many tools out there to design objects like boxes that have the joints generated as well. I collected a list of all sites I came across:
