Hm, it completely ignores the standard way for Debian: apt-get install mailman3-full also exim4 as standard mailer. And apache2.
That's how I did it (for my first installation), and it worked out of the box. However I would recommend to directly use a real database (e.g. postgresql).
Except my How-to will give you the latest stable versions of Mailman 3, Postorius, and Hyperkitty and PostgreSQL instead of sqlite.
The default debian way also uses postgresql if you install postgresql and make the relevant selection while installing mailman3-full (or later with dpkg-reconfigure).
Re the "latest greatest", that's always the same question for all software. If one is happy what comes from the distribution, I always recommend to use that (or just use the currently developed stable version, i.e. testing or unstable, perhaps even only for these packages). If one needs something newer / else / specific local patches, it's good to have documentation that helps.
