To me that's a slightly different problem than the setup being hard for newcomers. Rather than the setup being buggy and those bugs being specially harming for newcomers. It's not like those bugs don't hit seasoned developers either.

Agreed. But seasoned devs already know how Kbuild/Kconfig works so can figure out what should be enabled. I do believe that we need better tooling though, for example AFAIK there isn't a tool that tells what are all the option needed to be enabled as dependencies for CONFIG_FOO.
