I think one of the most useful potential features to be added would be to have bots that will play a specific opening, so that you can practice against that opening at different levels of difficulty. Like either a selection of common openings to choose from, or even more useful just straight up preset the moves up to a certain point and then let the AI take over. Does this feature already exist somewhere?

Well, there aren't any opening specific bots but you can take any position from the analysis board and play it against any computer, which includes the bots.

The TCEC tournaments superfinals for chess engines use prepared opening positions , each to be played with player A white, B black and A Black, B white. They are called games without qualification. So it should be Ok to have games from chosen openings (4 to 10 moves, say), and treat them as regular games, for humans. I could use this when I want to play a bot from a specific opening variation (such as Komodo25, or maybe others) over and over. The output of a practice session can't count as a game. So to get games,, I repeatedly resign from the "wrong" openings.
That play that I made is a play on how Elani Bot plays with
I think this would also be a great addition to the coach bots, it would prevent the bots from stemming into sidelines or down right changing the opening that I want to practice, if I were trying to learn the Nimzo Indian Defense the bots I practice against may change the opening to a sort of Queen's Gambit Declined.
