You wouldn’t really be able to tell. Figma is often just a tool for working out designs and building up a design system for your site. That later gets translated to your front end by your devs. Figma itself isn’t a styling library like tailwind, etc.

But are the designs lean or bloated.

If Figma helps building lean designs it's good otherwise not.

Designers tend to put too much useless parts into sites, like unnecessary transparencies and animations.

that's like asking if a pen or keyboard lead to bloat. depends on who's using them.

It's good with SVGs, themes, grouping elements into reusable components from your design system, and doing an art board per screen together so you can get an idea of your workflow through the app.

Not great at animations, not great at fully exploding all of the app state. Overall pretty good middle ground for designers and devs to interact.

If a designer uses ‘unnecessary’ transparencies and animations just because a design tool makes those things easy, that is not a problem with the design tool.
