It’s simple to just symlink whatever you want to sudo and have it work in the same way. These alternatives implement enough for most use cases to make them viable IMO.
Any software that invokes a privilege escalation utility should have a setting or option to choose which such utility should be invoked. Otherwise the software should be run with already escalated privileges, if it needs them to function. Or call a library that can do privilege escalation, after asking for credentials.

That’s my take. 🤷♂️
