Would much rather see someone like Yang who actually puts himself out there and doesn't just regurgitate Third Way talking points.

Agreed on Buttigieg, but I also don't think Yang is super impressive either - at least not on a "Cabinet Member" level. Maybe Buttigieg can do VA or UN Ambassador (I mean Niki Haley was one, it's not a super important job).
People love to create 'dream' Cabinets made up of people in primaries or primaries past, but generally you want people who are more subject matter experts in those areas. And the vast majority of positions (aside from State, Treasury) are less important than, say, a Senate seat (that being said, I do think it's interesting that Sanders is angling for the Labor job, but I do think that the various rumored union leaders would be a better option - and would keep Sanders in the Senate).
