If you speak Austrian think about the example "Kimmtà scho wennst

Kimmta = Kommt er?

wårtst". Would you say the schwa which is attached at the first verb
is a verbal suffix?

Yes. (If the answer to my question above is "yes").

And what about -st at the conjunction "wenn".

It's an inflection of the conjunction.

I vaguely recall something similar exists in West Flemish, too.

So what is your criterion to decide whether a morpheme is a suffix or
not? Kimmtà and kimmt er (accented) are equal.

I think it's up to the person who writes the grammar book.
