Nope, dev is exactly right for that.

I think the bashisms are part of what is considered sucky. mksh and dash are
both posix shells, I personally tend to recommend rc, which has fixed most
of the issues I have with "normal" shells (like quoting issues, lists, a
portable and clean implementation etc.).

I think make is considered the most practical suckless option for build systems.
If you want make with nice goodies I can recommmend the plan9 equivalent, mk
(https://github.com/dcjones/mk is a more recent implementation in go).

No idea, sorry.
