Yeah it seemed like every new library I wrote had the same boilerplate so
when I found this project I jumped on and started contributing.

Yes, BASIS itself uses a layout like that.

Right now there are no special BASIS steps implemented for Object
Libraries. You can use BASIS with later versions of CMake, and you can use
standard CMake functions. The only side effect is that when the standard
CMake functions are used the automated steps won't be done for you and they
will need to be done manually. I created an issue so the missing
functionality won't be lost.
