Here's the summary I gather: It's a KiCad plugin designed for artistic, electronically-simple (and probably analog?) projects. Does that sound right? Inferred from the first few docs pages.

Very close. It's somewhat of an OpenSCAD or Processing for electrically simple circuit board design, that uses KiCad as the generating kernel. Artistic projects are the easiest to demonstrate, however we also use it for industrial applications where we need many similar variants of simple boards. You can also use its output alongside normally routed parts to automate the tedious portions of a design: https://social.v.st/@th/111646753350070002
