I agree with most things here but in a big budget TV show, a sound designer will work with the composer to have incidental sounds, fit with the musical direction.

Eg in “stranger things” the composer will have created the theme music – the sound designer will look at ways to populate the sound effects with references to the ambience of the story. Like all great technical professionals – if you notice their work they have failed. Their job is to make the storytelling more compelling.
