How do you clean up? Once the deploy script is fixed, how do you know what’s been done and what needs redoing?
Have you considered ansible/puppet/chef/salt — environments dedicated to deployment and cleanup, with idempotency to allow for fixing and repeating the deployment, across multiple operating systems and versions?
Cleanup can be as simple as deleting the latest deployment directory, if the script gets that far. The article is about using built-in Linux tools for 'easy' application deployments. One can also use dedicated tools, as you suggested, to further automate the deployment process.
