Awesome!

I looked at Reason several months ago and my impression was, that if you want to do frontend stuff with bucklescript, you are one git-pull and npm install from a working scaffold, but if you want Reason with ocaml for native stuff, you would mostly be scaffolding yourself.

I am really glad I was mistaken :)

Several months ago that was probably correct. Recently, we've released new tools like esy that make it... easy, especially if you come from a JS background or are familiar with JS tooling. There's still a lot to solve, and native is just inherently harder than targeting JS, but a lot of progress has been made recently, and there's more to come.
