I disagree, as someone who has nominally used serverless (but never on Lambda) and nominally used webpack (but with little experience outside the context of building with webpacker in a Rails app), this actually looks like exactly what I needed.

And I likely won't use DynamoDB, but little depth has been spent on explaining anything at all about Dynamo, it works as an example of how to get to use serverless plugins. To me this looks like just enough tutorial to cover the top of one page without losing my interest.

Reading past the "serverless offline" part, I think I've just made up my mind and will try the serverless framework again.
