Agreed.  Marc-André has a couple patches left, but they're just nice to
have.  Another possibility could be adding first-class Sphinx support to
Meson (e.g. parsing the conf.py file to figure out the manpages directly).

Otherwise, 0.55.0 (or 0.56.0 if we want to avoid the warnings) should
have all that we need, and we're already doing some pretty complicated
things.
