You could use the getBlockVariations method here. See packages/blocks/src/api/registration.js.

const defaultVariation = blockType?.variations?.find(
( variation ) => variation.isDefault
);

// Fall back to empty attributes if no default variation is found.
const attributes = defaultVariation
? defaultVariation.attributes
: {};

return [
createBlock( 'core/separator', attributes ),
createBlock( getDefaultBlockName() ),
];
},
},
