You only need to create a manifest template, a so called MANIFEST.in.
This template supports file patterns for inclusion and exclusion, such
as  tests/*.py etc. so it is not as complicated as one might think. It
is also conceivable to have data packaged that is not tracked in git.

Byt the way note that setuptools-git has a GPL license and using it
would make pygr GPL too.

In general I found that automation is a double edged sword, at the
beginning it seems like a neat alternative yet one soon finds
themselves in situations where:

a) they can't get anything done without using it
b) they're putting in substantial efforts in working around some
unexpected limitation

so I tend to be very conservative. Maybe overly so.
