I've come around to Brunch, and I think it's the right choice for Phoenix.
I used Webpack for a while, but every time I needed to setup a new project I had to go back to the docs to figure out what I wanted. I tried using a generator, and it was awful... maintaining all the generated Webpack configurations was like trying to maintain a whole project within my project.
I wish Brunch had some more in-depth documentation, but I like not wasting so much time on getting that stuff setup.

That's true to me too. I'm not happy leaving a bunch of generated configuration I hesitate to touch in my project folder. It includes too many of what aren't supposed to be changed, and freedom is not an excuse for this case.
