Anyone else find it crazy that Webflow doesn't let you add images from the Asset Panel into the CMS? Idk how I can add alt descriptions to these images

yeah completely crazy. Some of the legacy issues just boggle my mind. I'm totally fine with no more flashy new features..let's round out the features we already have eh? For alt descriptions of CMS images, you would need to create a custom field within the CMS and link it up. Another option if it makes sense is to connect it to the name of the collection item but this may not always make sense it just depends on the context there.
