I ran into the same issues for my custom board. You are not dumb. I ended up creating the project in STM32CubeMX and then adding TouchGFX later. I was able to write a custom build script (using STM32CubeIDE headless build) and also a custom script for flashing (using STM32CubeProgrammer) and they both get called when clicking the program button in TouchGFX.

Overall the documentation is quite good.

I would add a section regarding how to set up VSCode to compile and debug the simulator as not everyone can use Visual Studio. VSCode is widely used worldwide (ESP has the whole toolchain builtin, for instance) so, ST could do the next step for their products

The sample code is a bit confusing.

Does not work:

int x, y, r;
circle.getCenter(&x, &y); // Will return (1, 1)
circle.getRadius(&r); // Will return 0

Works:

short int x;
short int y;
short int r;
circle_level.getCenter<short int>(x, y); // Will return (1, 1)
circle_level.getRadius<short int>(r); // Will return 0
