But, grid and/or flex box could still do these things by nesting I assume?

So do you mean this is a less complex, more sane way, or did you mean it enables things that couldn’t be done with grid/flex?

Of course sanity is good but it’s an important distinction, say if a simple scenario could avoid a library dep without much extra complexity.

I'm not sure -- the problem is that the height is determined across the whole row -- as soon as you have one item bigger than others in a row it falls apart.

Some of the auto sizing features of grid make it seem like it could work but I haven't seen too many examples, and rachelandrews saying "it's not built for that" is more than enough to discourage me from trying to hack around it.
