Before timeskip, when she uses the skil(extra hand/leg)l and she will be hurt if got hit by other things.

After timeskip, it does not seem so. When she use the giant leg and stomp on 10k merman, i am pretty sure they are many sharp weapons there, also, when she use the skill to lift up the sunflower, the Diamante's Stardust went through the flower and I am pretty sure it hit her hands.
Is it purpose or not? Will it be explained?

Lastly, what do you think will Oda make more creative skill on Robin? Her skill currently look plain.

Her skill never was that consistent, she did block attacks before with her ability without showing pain. Most prominent example, that skypea general.
Robin hasn´t shown any form of Haki or much physical training, we also can assume that her body being connected to her devil fruit is a consistent condition.
Else her eyes on Luffy´s hand wouldn´t make sense, although she used this ability only once. Considering how useful this ability could be for spying, it seems rather odd. However the amount of damage she takes when defending (or doesn´t take) looks arbitrary to me. When Oda wants her in a pinch shé´ll take damage if he doesn´t it won´t hurt her.

Robin isn´t written to be a fighter but if anything a tactician and a thinker. She may never have too much of a fight ever, besides disposing of fodder. Robin is a supportive fighter and Kalifa was only beaten by Nami because of plot purposes, since than she hasn´t fought any named characters, so doesn´t have Robin. They just aren´t that strong and I´m ok with it.

Their roles are different ones without Robin no deeper plot, without Nami the crew wouldn´t survive. So although many people rage that Robin didn´t have a proper fiht since Skypea I found her entertaining as a gloomy jokster/plot exploitation device.

It did hurt her, not her hand, but her back was hit by that stardust because she's covering Rebecca, Kyros realize this and that's why he said to Robin "I owe you one".
But I do admit this scene in the manga and anime isn't sync quite well.
In the manga, Oda never show us that the tree actually got penetrated, so when Kyros give her gratitude for Robin and saw Robin back is dripping with blood, I clearly thought that the reason Kyros was able to stand under those death stardust was because Robin bloom a part of her body to protect Kyros.
In the Anime, they show us the picture of the tree got penetrated which looks like Robin got hit by the stardust because she is covering for Rebecca, but this would mean that Kyros was still alive after took all those stardust, it may sound badass and cool but you know... yeah.
And the anime show Kyros broke Diamante umbrella when it still rains, in the manga there's no such scene iirc.

Imagine if Garp had this power? Or John Giant? That'd be planetary DC.

It's a big ass target is all it is.

Taking damage when the flowers are hit is beyond a weak point.
I'd rather have no devil fruit instead, if this is the only option.

Lol, what? If a top tier had it they'd be unstoppable; imbuing the arms with CoA cancels out this so-called "weak point". If a CoO master used it they'd be able to 'clutch' or 'stomp' on anyone from leagues away.

That true though. Even other devil fruit ability like Robin, they don't really use Haki or they don't even have color of armament.

She hasn't been doing much lately. It kind of sucks.

And when all those coo enhanced body parts get hurt the main body is doomed.
This power isn't suitable for top tier combat.
If garp has this power and faced akainu, he would get destroyed the moment he summons some parts.
