That document is aimed at developers to tell them how to make their package
ready for arrays that have custom indices. As a user, the key line is:

I recommend the OffsetArrays package.
Great to see someone interested in trying this. Definitely report any bugs
you find; as Isaiah said, this is still experimental functionality, and
many packages probably aren't fully ready yet. It will mostly take users
who want that functionality to notice where it needs to be added.
Best,
