That sounds problematic - why x86_64 only? Hopefully that could be fixed? BTW shake [1] seems to be able to handle ninja [2]. I posted a review request for it recently.

(ie, uses > downloaded GN binaries to build) I would say no. Playground should only contain packages built fully from source. So if chromium is only buildable from source for x86_64 currently then so be it.
