My question was: Any reasons not to use tox in the sample project?

I read your answer like this:

  Many projects don't mandate it at all
  or even don't use it at all and rely on other mechanisms

Yes, it is correct that many projects is a different way.

I search a simple guideline for new comers to set up
a python project including testing.

  "Since many projects don't mandate it at all ..."

I don't know if this a good argument against it.
