There are many partitioning tools "out there". I wouldn't mind adding info
on it, but on the other hand I've been noticing that the installation
instructions are getting more and more cluttered due to the set of "choices"
users have.

Users are of course free to use the partitioning tool they like. For GPT
partitions, we currently only document "parted" - is this not sufficient?
Would gptfdisk be needed in certain cases?
