I've make a tool that automatically makes scrabble maps :)
Pretty much all you need to do is set your preferred settings and know which text goes on each tile.
The only other things you need to do manually are to-
cut out each letter from the tiles (Path > Exclusion)
make sure 2 bonuses aren't in the same place (it is possible depending on how letters are placed but there's no easy fix without manually looking)
align 'special bonuses' like 'Double letter', 'Triple word' however you want
convert text to path (Path > Object to path)
run a program (made by me) to set all the map details

See https://danwales.github.io/scrabble_map_template/ for details.
Here's what a map without any manually interaction looks like https://www.warzone.com/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=100524.

Some letters, notably Q may not be aligned right. The formula is mathematically correct. All other letters are correct.

I've made it a lot easier to enter the content of tiles, you literally enter the tiles on a board (that follows the settings of the map).

There is a hidden way of entering settings programmatically. See https://github.com/DanWaLes/DanWaLes.github.io/blob/master/scrabble_map_template/createSVGTest.js if you're interested.

Maybe put error messages on the webpage itself rather than in the console?

I just spend a while figuring out why the Create SVG button had no noticeable effect.

It does, you need to clear cache
