A userland package manager like Gentoo Prefix could be used to install a custom build of this and still get security updates.

Indeed, there are many methods to have a custom build and still get security updates, including at least one method that is native to Ubuntu and doesn’t need any external tooling. However my warning refers to the method presented in the article, where this isn’t the case.
