The island generator is good but I do think it is lacking in some areas where it could shine.
More biomes - Literally the most crucial one. Only being able to make tropical islands is such an arbitrary limitation and really ruins the use of the generator for those who like other biomes over tropical.
Specific shape customization - As the islands are random, it will be impossible to get the island into a very specific shape, for example if you're trying to make a recreation of a full island from the movies. We should be given the ability to edit the exact shape of the coastline with some kind of tool. I'd imagine something similar to the terrain brushes.
Water access - I'd really like to be able utilize the oceans around the island. Essentially remove the borders around the island and give us access to edit the ocean terrain (which would actually be another good way to achieve island shape customization) and build things in the ocean like custom boats and bridges.
In an ideal world, the ocean water would also be given deep water or lagoon water functionality (or if they wanna go further, both and let the player define what's lagoon and what's not), allowing the dinosaurs to also use the ocean water. This would be great for more coastal species or recreating Rebirth scenes.

Importing templates would also be an amazing IDEA it's something you can do with planet zoo maps to get custom terrain designed by your self like say making one the shape of Nublar for example. And import that template to make the island exactly the shape you want
Bump
Kaiodenic's recent mod that expands the building boundaries beyond the island itself should definitely be in the vanilla game
