This critique starts off with little to no credibility, with statements such as this:
Although it claims to be a human-friendly language, TOML constitutes a step back into something more robotic and primitive when compared to INI files and libconfini's approach.
INI files are a complete, utter mess to the point it's even hard to argue they exist as a specified format. TOML's value proposition is specifying a INI-like language.
The critique is an exercise in myopic nitpicking, and confuses specification with implementation. The doc even whines because strings and numbers are different types. Go figure. The whole document is a textbook example of "not even wrong'. A waste if time.
By the way, TOML is supported as the config language of tools such as Rust's Cargo and Cloudflare's Wrangler. It's funny how things actually work in the real world in spite of these documents.
