In my experience, "by and large it works" is the best usable solution Haskell currently has. What do you have that is better than stack at allowing people to easily install Haskell software?
Well, my team uses nix, but I would also never burden a student with that either. There are better solutions to stack in every context, but it's not the same solution in each of those contexts.

Context: Haskell learner wants to write a small project that uses a few Haskell libraries from hackage. "Nix" is too much of a burden to learn simultaneously. "cabal install" fails cryptically. What should the learner do?

So, now we are imposing anti-learning onto arbitrary students? What if the student is not anti-learning? That's not a context. Cabal install does not fail any more cryptically than other shitty build tools.
