I must say that I find it far from obvious that it's unwieldy.

By that do you mean that you first go through the trouble of disabling
the normal automatic setup done by ELPA packages, and then setup
use-package for each and every one of those packages, partly redoing by
hand what the ELPA package's normal setup would have done for you?

Auto-installing a list of packages seems mostly unrelated to whether
(and how) you configure them, tho.

Sounds like a problem with use-package.

FWIW, this should be the case for *all* ELPA packages.
