MobileFrontend is an arse to setup and a lot of it is either specifically coded to suit Wikipedia, or it makes assumptions, such as the skin, that are often not viable for other projects at all.
This comment greatly surprised me. MobileFrontend was previously very difficult to set up but should now be very trivial. When did you last try?

Set it up sometime in 2013, been running into problems ever since, mostly with caching. As I recall we wound up having to direct mobile users to just use an app that just made sure the mobile version was called.
But it may be an issue with the documentation, then, especially this - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend/Configuring_browser_...
It's unclear what you mean by 'front-end caching' - what all does this cover? Is it just squid/varnish-type things, or does it include the file cache as well? Many projects do use at least that. The example varnish configuration appears to be missing. Can this be fixed?
