I guess what I meant by "from scratch" is that they aren't burdened by legacy code, and aren't limited to using the Paxos algorithm.
If you look at Deis, for example, it basically outsources a lot of node management to Chef Server, which in my view creates a great deal of technical debt on day one.
You read negative connotations into 'excites'. That wasn't intended.
I was just curious, since 'from scratch' can just as well mean 'untested' although I certainly agree that it sometimes is the Right Thing. The reference to Go was another thing that threw me off, since I rarely (admittedly .. sometimes) judge software projects by the language it is written in.
Thank you for the answer and some more references.

I listed what I like. "Excites" is your word.

ZK uses the ZAB protocol, which is similar but not the same as Paxos.
