Is the state of affairs really this bad on Arch? Or is there a HOWTO where I can get up and running with all three compilers?
dmd installed with `pacman -S dmd` works for me. But it's 2.074, so I installed 2.074.1 with the script.

It doesn't work on Arch Linux, see https://github.com/dlang-snaps/dmd.snap/issues/11 Reason is, snapd in Arch Linux doesn't support "classic" packages yet. As soon as it's fixed, everything should work fine, but I haven't found any topics on Arch Linux forums, Snap forums or snapd repository issues about this problem.

See also: http://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected] tl;dr: The Arch developers recently switched to enforcing PIE and they didn't care about updating dmd (even though we pinged them).
Nobody wants to maintain it, but AUR package cannot be created too. For now it isn't a big deal, but as soon as 2.075 is released, we should ping them again
