KextUpdater tracks/downloads releases for the kexts you have installed from their upstream repos. I was in the “never update a working hackintosh” camp for year

  That's neat, but it doesn't get around the initial setup process, which is what I thought (?) the GP was talking about. You need to know which kexts to use, what weird bootloader options to set, etc etc. I've actually never been in the "never update a working Hackintosh" camp. For better or worse, I've always installed point releases, and I can't recall a single time when they've broken something. (Whole version upgrades are a different matter, but I'm cautious about those on real Macs too!)

    Initial setup I’ve always done with as much disabled as possible — ideally zero custom kexts — so I certainly may have read GP through the wrong lens!

      Not that "initial setup"; the initial setting-up process of getting your Hackintosh from "a stock install where most things don't work" to "customized with drivers and patches that make everything work." That's the time-consuming part; and that's the part that could be automated. It's the thing that MultiBeast tries (but mostly fails) to do.
