Comment (by nbachiyski):

 One forward-facing requirement I’d add is to not depend on `grunt`, `npm`,
 or `webpack` in the CLI tools or configuration of the new build system –
 the same way WordPress hasn't depended on any framework, even Gutenberg
 has abstracted away the React specifics. The only two user-facing
 dependancies we should be OK with are `php` and `node`, IMHO, even if we
 use the latest-and-shiny under the hood (well, `grunt` hasn't be new or
 shiny for a long time and all probably go away, which is a great example
 of why we should have our own façade in front of the JS hotnesses).
