As for recolouring, it will arrive. The people linking to older rejected merge requests and issues are spreading FUD because they are linking to something else - replacement of styles instead of additions.
Why does this distinction matter? Libadwaita is not just a theme - it adds widgets, which are styled by the stylesheet. If you allow replacement of the stylesheet, the replacement stylesheet may have been made without taking a particular widget into account (maybe because it was implemented later?). This would break apps.
So what can be done? Something like the recoloring API mentioned in the blog post or as done by gnome-text-editor. So far no one who has looked at the details as stepped up with an alternative. Even the Ubuntu theming folks when discussing it are happy with what it will provide.
The only developers hating on it so far from what I know are the ones that would not include libhandy in their distribution because "they were a desktop OS" and another who thought the pre-alpha state without the dark style was the stable release.
