Faster time-to-market with API-first
When it comes to Flask, in particular, there’re plenty of choices. And in fairness, not all frameworks are created equal. You’ve got flasgger, restx (successor of flask-restplus), flask-RESTful, and flask-smorest, to mention a few. How do you choose among those???

Custom error messages with flask vs flask_restful
This has talked about in a similar matter: https://github.com/flask-restful/flask-restful/issues/221. However I'm still adamant about just using flask for exception handling. Unless I missed something,I'm having a hard time figuring out how to accomplish this in hopes to get rid of the string concatenation that flask_restful applies to the error message.

Outdated Flask extensions
Considering the extension you've mentioned explicitly, the author of it has provided an explanation as to why he is not longer putting in any work, you can read about it here.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing apispec and flask-restful you can also consider the following projects:
flasgger - Easy OpenAPI specs and Swagger UI for your Flask API
Flask RestPlus - Fully featured framework for fast, easy and documented API development with Flask
pyswagger - An OpenAPI (fka Swagger) client & converter in python, which is type-safe, dynamic, spec-compliant.
flask-restless - NO LONGER MAINTAINED - A Flask extension for creating simple ReSTful JSON APIs from SQLAlchemy models.
flask-api - Browsable web APIs for Flask.
