It's not, don't apologize, reusing battle tested tech is the way.
I have a quite close "template Makefile", though I prefer to store it as a cookiecutter (or more recently "copier") template for easier per-project bootstrap.
You could add a timestamped log function. I use that in mine so that targets have timestamped messages pre/post.
