I rewrote the onboarding documentation of my team and asked myself if I should script the tooling installation. I came with the same conclusion and just gave a list of tools to absolutely install (with a suggestion of how to install it, but do as you please) and recommended tools and extensions (+ why they're cool). I think this approach is especially useful for newbies who don't necessarily know the tools or how to install them.
If anybody has an issue with their custom installation though, I redirect them to the onboarding recommendations.
