Hi Sorin. Short answer: No, I don't think the aim is to be incompatible at all with local developer builds.
If you have a build script that uses make, then it is perfectly fine to use it, even as is. There is nothing wrong with a Jenkinsfile which is just delegating to a shell script or make. As you mentioned you have stages in your build already, then if possible you can break them up as suggested in another post, via "stage" statements which then contain the calls to the specific steps. This aids visualisation as it breaks things up, but it is still calling your scripts to do the actual work. Of course this may not be practical in your case, which is fine, but makes it harder to show visually at the moment.
