FWIW both Company and Corfu preserve text properties when calling the
exit function as long as the completion candidate is unique or was
selected explicitly in the popup menu.

Duplicate candidates (with respect to equal) are kept in the
Corfu/Company popup menus. Duplicates are also kept in the Completions
buffer as long as their prefix or suffix annotations are distinct, but
unfortunately the distinction is lost, text properties are stripped, as
soon as a candidate is selected.
