What features are most important for a High-Quality Template?

Examples:

Proper layer grouping

Clear layer naming

Consistent spacing & grid

Editable components

Readable typography

Organized file structure

Multiple export formats

Realistic mockup previews

I came across some references during my research. One of them is as follows: GraphyPix

The template structure and layout approach are well-illustrated here, which is worth learning for new designers.
