The approach doesn't exclude the possibility of a source distribution, it's only a few weeks old. I would suggest that if you have to choose between having a setup.py, not having a setup.py, and not having the package on pypi at all because the packager can't figure out setup.py, prefer the second option.
Is figuring out setup.py still a thing? Between cookiecutter laying out your project with a setup.py and the Packaging Guide, how many people still have trouble setting up a setup.py for a package? It almost seems like this is a solution wanting for a problem.
