Comment (by omarreiss):

 Created separate tickets that could be iterated on after this is done:
 - https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/43711 is a ticket about building
 a better development setup for WordPress core. Any Docker vs Vagrant
 discussions can go there.
 - https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/43731 is a ticket about moving
 most of the Grunt stuff into the Webpack configuration.
 - https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/43732 is a ticket about the
 wording on the notice which we serve when devs try to run WordPress from
 `src`

 Will upload a new patch asap which takes care of all remaining issues on
 my list:
 - some failing phpunit tests (this is done)
 - node / npm engines in package.json which I'll sync with Gutenberg's
 - check if I haven't omitted any unminified scripts from the build which
 were previously there.
