I'd like to have the final (rounded) rectangle as area output be able to draw things without overwriting the (round) borders. Would make gradient backgrounds much easier.

Areas in SynthMaker are strictly rectangular.

They consist of four values only... offsets and dimensions only.

Clipping masks (or something like them) have been requested in various formats before but the focus of the program is audio and I believe the devs view more complex graphic additions as low-priority (compared with, say, FFT/iFFT transform primitives).

Oddson is right as usual. Just thinking: I think SM supports PNG opacity & clipping masks, does it not? Might be a workaround. I try to stay away from large GUI changes; seems to some to cause CPU spikes.

I'd like it, but I undersatnd it's not a priority and the fact that areas are defined by four values make it a far too complex change to program. Anyway you can swap to pixel from grid and work in pixels if you want better precision. But I think a fast solution like the one you proposed will not be implemented in a hurry.. 🙁
