As far as I know, Cakebrew is no longer maintained. There are quite a few alternatives though, you can see the full list on the GitHub page (https://github.com/milanvarady/Applite#alternatives)
Assuming everyone's on a Mac, I'm actually surprised there isn't that much use of something like homebrew-bundle[1]. It's definitely nicer to have your tooling run natively rather than, say, trying to wrap everything in Docker, or trying to get everybody on board with nix or guix.
I think the only real issue here is that you can't really pin to specific versions unless a formula exists, and there is no guarantee that a formula with a pinned version will stick around because homebrew likes to stay lean.

From a similar project called App Fair (https://github.com/App-Fair/App). They have a separate repo containing supplemental data for casks.
There's a decent open source option: https://github.com/munki/munki
I got to use it at work at Meta (as end user), and it seemed to work quite well. They delivered Android SDKs/IDEs and a bunch of other things that I'd personally install through Brew with Munki.
