This may seems silly, but I really would prefer spawning entities (with custom nbt values etc.) while also not using commands.
I'm sure this is possible and I would love to know how to do this.

You can use a command to get a spawn egg with the custom NBT and then left click with the egg to spawn the mob.
If you want to make an entity spawn with procedures without using the execute command procedure blocks,
you can use the Summon Entity procedure block along with the Set <datatype> NBT Data of Entity block when the entity spawns spawns.
If you want to spawn it in game without the commands, you need to use a spawn egg or leave it up to natural creature spawning.
Also this seems like a very inefficient way to spawn entities at first glance, what is the reasoning behind spawning mobs without commands?
