Any pointers? I don't see anything that could help me here but that document is
quite confusing anyway with so many things deprecated...

Don't worry, I'm pretty much done already and it's working fine.
And I'm not the only one who is using a custom solution. Check out
popular toolkits like SDL, GLFW, wxWidgets... they all do it one or
another. And even Apple says that it's legit:
"Override run if you want the app to manage the main event loop differently
than it does by default. (This a critical and complex task, however, that you
should only attempt with good reason.)"
I just wish there'd be some more information on how exactly this "critical
and complex task" should be implemented in practice ;)
