Make sure that you're using models that have phoneme presets.
Team Fortress 2's "HWM" class models do, while its in-game class models don't. Many Half-Life 2-/Left 4 Dead-style models support this method: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=136390297

How would one go about commissioning adding HWM to an existing model and what would that cost

In the context of this thread, that's not relevant. Presets don't require "HWM" flexes, it's just that Team Fortress 2's "HWM" class models have phoneme (and emotion and viseme) presets and its in-game class models don't.

You can make presets for any model by following this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=160143865
By saving the preset file with the same file name/path as the model, followed by "_phoneme.pre" instead of ".mdl", Source Filmmaker will load those presets into a "phoneme" group, which will then be used for automatic lip-synchronisation if they have the right names, when you create an animation set for the model in the future.

I see. A model I have only has basic “smile” “frown” etc and I thought I needed rigging

For some reason it is greyed out for me when I do this. Create preset

Make sure that you haven't applied any rig scripts to the animation set, and make sure that you've followed the rest of the guide's instructions step by step.

I've definitely hit a wall

No idea why these aren't loading or why I can't get it to sync on the save I made them on

You might have interpreted "Right Click on them and click Export Element. EXPORT EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY" in the guide as exporting every preset individually, instead of exporting every preset group individually.

You don't have all of the necessary phoneme presets, and they lack the "p_" prefix. This video specifically covers the topic of making phoneme presets, which might help (along with the video in its description): https://youtu.be/dHNZgnNLzTg
Around 7:27, the video says that it's unknown how to make preset groups get loaded by default alongside the model. The guide that I linked to in comment #3 of this thread covers that (if you save the preset group with the "_phoneme" suffix).

ah, yes. i did misinterpret that.

i also appear to have thought viseme was the lipsync so i just used heavy's viseme and recreated those. tbh I realized my model doesnt have much viable facial movement to fill even those, let alone the p_ list
