I would strongly recommend against the "parallel stack" part.
autotools are mature and widely used, there is nothing bad about
using them.
meson is the shiny new tool.
It is still evolving with slight breakages here and there,
but already used widely enough to limit the amount of breakage
that can happen.
Depending on your personal preferences either would be a good choice,
but doing both would bring you double work and double bugs for no
benefit.
