Doesn't seems so, otherwise the computing world wouldn't be so full of NIH syndrome. :)

re-inventing known language features in inferior languages isn't more real-world, it's a self-inflicting kool-aid thirst ^_^

Has Cabal been fixed yet?

Yes, a long time ago [0]. Depending on your needs, stack might still have advantages as the direct tool used by the developer (as it uses cabal underneath anyway).

At least since August 2017: https://downloads.haskell.org/~cabal/Cabal-3.0.0.0/doc/users...

You don't need switching to Stack (as other commenters suggest) to have isolated builds and project sandboxes etc. If you want to bootstrap a specific compiler version, a-la nvm/pyenv/opam, use GHCup with Cabal project setup: https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/

Yes. Use stack [0].
