I have a need to be able to autosize text in a paragraph box to fit a specific height, and have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to do this. Using expressions and the scale property to fit the text is not a good solution for me.

I've done spot UV before and you don't need to cut text from the shapes. Just leave the text (outlined) white. Printers will not print white so that is how you do it.
The next step is to duplicate the text you want as spot UV, colour it with a new spot colour (you can even rename the color as spot UV) and on the attributes panel set it to overprint. Printers ...
