I'm not sure cabal can really be considered a package manager as the article here states [1]. Stack helps, but I think just using a dedicated package manager to manage haskell things is probably the way to go.
Nix has a lot of haskell packages in it already, and guix has a hackage 'import' tool which helps you with writing a new package definition for a project that hasn't already been packaged.
You may think that's overkill, and fair enough. But I've been through cabal hell before, and I'd honestly rather not anymore, ever.
