Painting works with symmetry, however other tools don't. After altering the symmetry of a picture by using tools that don't support symmetry, such as making a selection and transforming it, it would be fantastic to be able to hit a symmetrize command to restore symmetry horizontally, vertically or both.

It sounds like on the symmetry tool, you want an operation to take what is on one side and make it symmetrical on the other. One issue might be how is Krita going to know which side to use for the base? There would probably have to be two functions. Symmetrize left side...or symmetrize right sde.
Yes, I imagine. It would also be nice if that command used as symmetry axis the current axis set in mirror painting.
For reference this is what I do with symmetry : https://imgur.com/a/clmmk https://www.artstation.com/artwork/RxoOD
A way to instance/link layers would also work for me : instance layer, apply scale -1 on x axis, paint.
This sounds like a good opportunity for a Python script!
Wouldn't it be much better if some of the tools supported symmetry? But I guess it would be good to have a symmetrize button as well. In Image -> Transform and in Layer -> Transform (note: what about boundaries of the layer). Not sure about the Transform Tool? Note: how to determine the axis for the symmetry - the current mirror tool axis? or something else?
The Python script already exists now: https://krita-artists.org/t/mirror-fix-correct-symmetry-errors/5805
