I really wish there was a way to toggle a component in an assembly from part to envelope.

I've tried. Brought all my SW experience and API knowledge to bear on this. Have not foud a way.
Best you can do is bring in a new envelope and replace references.
As do I. I am using them more and more as a foundation for much more complicated assemblies. I just wish I had the flexibility to change my mind later on. Ed

Ditto to everybody.
However, I'm finding that more and more often I want to be able to see my subassembly skeleton parts in higher level assemblies. So, I've all but stopped using envelopes for skeletons. I assign a zero mass, exclude it from the BOM, and make sure they're only visible where I need them to be. It's a little more to manage, but at least I can mate to a subassembly skeleton's sketch entities when I need to.
For me the ability to change from one to the other in different configs would be important so that we can toggle from General Arrangement to our product in one assembly.
