I’ve tried all the surround plugins but what I really want is just the simple flow of: make a selection -> press “, ( etc to surround. Is that not possible with vim?

It’s possible but would be awkward without making significant changes to default key mapping.
",,and(are all motions by default, using them with a selection means “move one end of the selection to there”.Even “selection-first” editors like kakoune and helix binds the surround command with a prefix (select → surround operator → symbol). It just works better that way.
