I’m trying to create an interaction to do a simple light/darkmode switch in Figma Sites - but it’s missing the “Set variable mode” interaction. Is there a workaround / is Figma planning to add this in?

I have the exact same issue. What I tried to do is to have two variants of the same screen in Figma design, one with theme A and the other with theme B. Then in Figma Sites you can toggle the two variants but it would be nice to switch mode. Only issue: what if the modes are defined inside a Figma design file and not inside the Figma Sites file? Would be nice to switch mode from a library linked to your Figma Sites.
