PEP 517 / 518 does not change whether setup.py is appropriate -- all it
does is change how pip checks to see whether you are using setup.py

As for which one to use, sure, why not -- setuptools has support for
building binary extensions, whereas for cmake you'll need to provide
your own dist-info and I'm not sure how pip would build it.

meson does have https://gitlab.com/thiblahute/mesonpep517/
I think scons might have something similar.
