At Southern Baptist Theological Seminary we used Grudem and Allison who Grudem commissioned to write the Historical Theology to complement Grudem Systematic Theology.

A few years ago I took a Systematic Theology certificate but did not finish all classes. We used Systematic Theology by Robert Letham, Systematic Theology. 2 vols by James Leo Garrett, Baptist Faith and Message, The Baptist Way: Distinctives of a Baptist Church by R. Stanton Norman, and Not a Silent People: Controversies That Have Shaped Southern Baptists by Walter B. Shurden. For the next class we used Letham's work above, Baptists and the Christian Tradition: Toward an Evangelical Baptist Catholicity by Matthew Y. Emerson, Baptists through the Centuries: A History of a Global People by David W. Bebbington, Foundations of Christian Faith. by Karl Rahner, Anyone Can Be Saved: A Defense of "Traditional" Southern Baptist Soteriology by David L. Allen and Adam Harwood and The Collected Writings of James Leo Garrett Jr. The cert was 5 classes I only took the first two due to money issues. I have on my TBR list a book The Way We Were: How Southern Baptist Theology Has Changed and What It Means to Us All by Fisher Humphreys

Made and edited by Southern Baptist, I believe most are from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary:
Daniel L. Akin et al., A Theology for the Church (Nashville, TN: B&H Academic, 2014), vii.

Matthew Barrett, a professor of theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, is writing a systematic theology which will be, I believe, an SBC Systematic Theology.
He's also apparently going to be releasing, also through Baker, a companion reader, a classical theology, which would allow you to read through his primary sources used for the sys theo.
I don't know when either will be released, though.

I wonder how long it takes to write a systematic theology. That seems like a lot of work; especially if he’s not going to be writing that full time!

Stephen Wellum from SBTS has recently put out a systematic theology that is endorsed by a lot of southern baptists: https://www.logos.com/product/254108/from-canon-to-concept

Well, he began two or so years ago, so I would hope he might be done sometime soon, but who really knows? Here's a post about it from December, along with a link to a newsletter that he sends out updating his progress (I just signed up for the newsletter, so I don't know anything about the newsletter).

You may find a good book written by A Southern Baptist, used in A Southern Baptist school, or even published by An SBC publishing arm, but remember the autonomy of local churches (held stronger by some than others) requires that ANY of these texts would not be binding upon ALL Southern Baptists.
case in point - currently the SBC is considering withholding church planting funds from new churches in Texas because the Texas Convention has not fully accepted the most recent (BF&M 2000) confession.
