I can also mention buildroot [1] which seems to be a lighter, simpler project for this.

Buildroot is harder to manage in my experience, yocto's layers are pretty killer in terms of seperating your code from vendor code. But yes, it's also an option.

How is it harder? It's a genuine question, not a rethorical one. Never used Yocto, but buildroot allows you to stack multiple filesystem layers on top the one produced by buildroot.
