I built a custom gulpfile that uses composer to manage the updating of WP and plugins along with building and FTP transfer a while back that I've been using for about a year. I should have built a swanky page and open-sourced it then :(. Composer sure makes WP development much easier to integrate with build systems. This is totally the way to go as long as clients prefer using WP to something more full-featured or server intensive. I'll have to check this out when I decide that webpack has some advantage over gulp/rollup. Right now I'm able to get smaller packages and do more easier with gulp, so I'm in no hurry.
