Generell agree with the sentiment and also the specific case here. One thing to note though is that a lot of the complexity of setting up Webpack correctly for a standard user is the very high and contradicting amount of SO/Google advice. This is caused by the (relatively) long history of Webpack and the major version jumps. A layer on top doesn't carry this baggage so may indeed reduce complexity.
