I'm old enough to have watched the "Kuwaiti incubator hoax" play out. Having observed a few wars at fairly close range, I'm automatically suspicious of elaborate atrocity stories. That particular story you link actually influences me to be suspicious of the Bucha story. The intent of the article is to portray how bad things are, and the stories it relates are truly awful. But if the Bucha story really represents what is going on, the writers should have found much worse things to report.
