I lead a bazel conversion for a pretty complex piece of software written in 5+ programming languages and shipping native binaries to all 3 major OSes a few years ago, and it took multiple years to get it done.
For a less complex project (1 programming language, still shipping to all 3 major OSes), with my knowledge and agents I got the bazel conversion done in 2 weeks.
The setup cost for bazel just went down by a lot, and I don't think the industry as a whole is aware of that yet.
