Hello,
I have been looking at the Blueprints for template entities and I am wondering if there is any intention to be able to have the blueprints for templates be configurable through the UI, like the blueprints for automations are?

I believe there are Feature requests for that that you could vote for.
The whole project is still a work in progress, and not many of the actual template types are available yet, so that will be first.
There are a lot of Back-end things to fix to make it all work.

Seems pretty obvious that the intent is to have template entity blueprints configurable through the UI. As for how long that might take though, who knows… Template entity blueprints barely works at all at the moment. Binary sensors appear to work and maybe variable unit too, but selects did not when I gave it a shot and probably not many of the other entity types either.
The volunteers doing it are looking for coding help.
All of the template functions need to be re-done to operate the modern way in the back-end to that the blueprint functionality can be coded.
Find the sub-project on GitHub and volunteer if you have the skills. I wish I could help.

I am not able to figure out how to use them even in code 
When I try to follow these instructions, I am getting error:
Are you getting errors in Home Assistant, or just in VSCode? The error messages in VSCode are dependent on having an up-to-date Home Assistant Config Helper extension, it looks like you may be using an older version.
