There are currently three WPE buildroot repositories:

  • Metrological/buildroot
  • Igalia/buildroot-wpe
  • WebPlatformForEmbedded/buildroot

The one you're using seems quite old, hasn't been updated in 9 months.
The Igalia one has been updated last 29 days ago, and WebPlatformForEmbedded has been updated just a few hours ago.

I'm guessing nothing has really changed in the way the image is made. I compiled everything, it took a few hours, I created the partitions and extracted the contents but... nothing happened.

I compiled the Igalia one. Have you tried it recently, or are you still using the Metrological one?

Aha, found the issue:

the guide told to only copy the contents of rpi-firmware/ using 'cp', not 'cp -a', so the 'overlays' folder was ignored.

But more importantly: it only said to copy over the 'zImage' file from the output folder, but 'bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb', 'wpe.conf' and 'wpe.txt' also needed to be added. Now it works.
