How is the in-game blocking mechanic handled?
Will blocking a toxic killer player prevent me from being queued with them in the future? I typically will block if they hard tunnel (let all of the gens fly just to get me out + ignore other survivors just to get me out + camp) and I'd prefer to never be matched with that player again.
How does it work?

Blocking only prevents communications. It does not block them from being queued with you.
The only thing blocking someone does is make you unable to talk to them in the in-game chat. It doesn't prevent you from matching up with them
Depends on what platform you are but none of them prevents matchmaking or the use of chat.
Steam: Dose nothing at all
Epic: <No idea, possible nothing at all>
Console: Blocks friend invites from that person
As mentioned. You can use it as a pseudo "ignore" list for survivors, as you can check to see if they're blocked in your pregame lobby, but it really doesn't do anything matchmaking wise.
They (Behaviour) should implement harsher blocking measures because the targeted harassment in the game can be a bit much.
They can't because otherwise many will block a teammate they don't agree with (build or whatever other reason), any killer they've lost against, or members of SWF groups.
