I don't fully agree. To go full "nutty" you would want to use the chips

or buy a few of each of the commercial modules and test them. They are
an all-in-one solution with all the usual features about overtemp,
overcurrent, etc.
What you'd need to do is characterize their noise properties over load
(something not in the datasheet), and then you could design a LC filter
to knock down the rest. Or do the LDO regulator thing.. it's not
entirely clear that a dc/dc followed by a suitable LDO might not come
out ahead of a dc/dc followed by a filter.
Even for time-nuts, I suspect we're not looking to eke out the last
percent of efficiency from 96% to 97%, or handle wildly varying loads,
etc. Nor are we usually looking for absolute minimum parts cost.
