If META.yml says you need Module::Build and I don't provide a

Should I just put a die in Makefile.PL to avoid this silly "we're
obviously missing the required build system but we'll try to pretend
anyway" stuff?

So now you'll put systems in the "Ah, I have a Makefile.PL. I'll use
it! Arrgh! It died. This distribution fails, obviously!" mode which is
very similar to where you are now.
I've wondered about this - can you get a Makefile.PL to prereq
Module::Build so CPAN.pm installs it, then transfer control over to
M::B?
