Totally agree that it's not there yet. Working on something better, but it'll take a while and I wanted the functionality now :)
You don't have to manually enable the ones you want, though. They should all be enabled by default. You only have to memorize the ones you care about, and a lot of them are pretty intuitive I think!
Why not generate a text substitution .plist file with all the emoji shortcuts you want ?
You can import/export this file directly in/from your System Preferences
Yeah sadly so... would love a system wide implementation of how slack manages their emojis. I can still dream...

Have feedback?
The implementation isn't as great as Slack's :/ It requires you to remember exactly what the shortcut for the emoji is. You also have to manually enable the ones you want. You can basically do this in OSX already.
