There is a ton of tools and custom logic used by/with/for the GN ecosystem in chromium that I imagine would be difficult to port.
This tool is substantially less complex than Bazel, nor is it a reimplementation of Bazel. Ninja's whole goal in life is to be a very fast local executor of the command DAG described by a ninja file, and siso's only goal is to be a remote executor of that DAG.
This is overall less complex than their first stabs at remote execution, which involved standing up a proxy server locally and wrapping all ninja commands in a "run a command locally which forwards it to the proxy server which forwards it to the remote backend" script.
