I mean reading through the article it was only considering author's present perception which is a bit too naïve in my opinion.

Out of my head, the benefits of having a `build.zig` that you learn right from the get go is, that you kind of have to dig a bit into the eco-system a bit. Also how the buildsystem works, etc. which then in return makes it muuuuch easier later on if you have a bigger project, to properly utilize the power of the buildsystem.

I can also only consider my perspective here, but I've done quite a bit of Rust now (and work with it for over a year now, full time as well), and i can tell you as much: I would be thrown into icy waters if i need to do anything with a build.rs.
