It seems that were I to go through and update the NB Platform tutorials, modernizing them for NB 12 and Maven should be on the list of TODOs for them. I likely would not do a parallel path for any of the other build environments, especially not right out the gate. I don't know if the NB Platform wizards have any aspirations to support Gradle projects or not (I don't know if the build system is abstract enough internally to where something like a wizard cares about it or not, honestly).
