The reason for the workflow was to allow the creative team to use either Photoshop or Fireworks in the future with the idea of moving towards Fireworks because I have alwyas thought it to be twice as fast to work with.
Yes Save As > Photoshop PSD to export. Give it a try its simple just make a group of objects and a symbol in a page and Save As > Photoshop PSD to export.
You are right Aaron does have a good extension along with John Dunning. Aaron previously suggested this process which helps but would have been nice for adobe to deliver on their promise:
Group to Sublayer only works on groups, but you should be able to use the built-in menu action Modify > Symbol > Break Apart on multiple selected symbols. So, between that, you could:
1. Select All
2. Break Apart (this converts symbol instances to groups)
3. Re-Select All (might not be necessary, just for good measure)
4. Group to Sublayer
And that would do what you want (on the current page and state only.) After doing it once, you can select those steps in the History panel and save as a user command.
Note that groups and symbol instances can have opacity/blendmode/filters, while layers cannot, so if those styles are in use they may be dropped during conversion. I usually convert stuff selectively because of this.
