My suggestion would be to contribute your ideas to this project, by adding new features to it or adding a new template to it:

> Hi everyone! I’ve been reusing a few Zig project patterns when staring a new repo, so I decided to combine them into a “templated” alternative to zig init. Hope you find it useful! Feedback and questions are welcome as always!

I think this kind of functionality, that assumes a bunch of technologies that aren’t directly related to Zig is best kept in such a community project, that way everyone can experiment with different choices and people can customize it towards what they want.
