What is the industry standard software for designing digital typefaces?

I use AI now and then for quick sketches too. You can draw more than one glyph in the same glyph window in a font editor though.

The things you mention would be very useful when making a font that consists of the same geometrical shapes,

I mean for any shape, it could be ornamental type or anything. Font editors have tools to simplify the process thats why I said it doesn't have to be a typeface, could even be lettering.

You can make art/calligraphy brushes in fontlab too, not sure of fontcreator or glyphs. Ai has a tendency to put too many nodes in places once strokes are expanded and that will yield not only stray nodes but sometimes even nodes on top of another. If anything it produces less than smooth curves. AI hasnt fixed this forever.
