I do most of my work in F#, but I'm still an old-fashioned Visual Studio guy. I just pick a template in VS (e.g. .NET Core class library) and start coding. If I want unit tests, I create a second project in the same solution. I know I'm in the minority, but it seems so much simpler to me than what you describe here. Can you explain why I'd want to move to Paket or any of the other things you've mentioned (FAKE, Expecto, etc.)? It seems like a lot of extra work (not to mention the additional cognitive load), and I haven't even heard of most of them.
