I use "Atomic Design" via our CSS (atomic classes) however more often than not, designing a UI may require jumping straight to a "molecule" for it to make sense (e.g. a card UI).
Don't make the conversation about atoms or molecules. Make it about the problem you are solving for your users. The hyper focus on "design systems" lately is putting way too much emphasis on UI and consistency. Yes, those things are important, but the MOST important thing a designer can do is solve problems for users.
