Generating recipes with a tool means the tool will be custom and
non-standard, and chances of anyone outside of your company
understanding, using and contributing to it are rather small. There's also
the problem of needing multiple versions of the same thing for different
consumer items, which oe doesn't easily support. The link Robert provided
already exposes some of the pain points with that approach.

I tend to think the best way forward (or least painful at least) is to
gradually improve what there already is, which is the npm class
and devtool, and send patches to various upstream njs projects when they're
using outdated dependencies or otherwise need changing.
