Help installing taffybar
Now I'm getting a couple of actual build errors, which are on taffybars end (the issue on github: https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar/issues/542 if anyone would like to fix it :P). I'll try installing the project from source instead and see where that takes me.

Anyone here using Taffybar?
You likely need to copy over the config file if you didn't do that already. Check the bottom of the github page. https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar

Build script with dbus using stack
I followed the instructions on this post, which sets ~/.xmonad as a stack project. I set xmonad-log (also tried with haskell-dbus) in the stack.yml as an extra-dep However, it is not working for me.

Updating a module in xmobar
As an aside, you should use the bar you're most comfortable with. Sure most people use xmobar, but the point of xmonad is that you can create your favourite computing environment :) If you prefer polybar then it's not terribly hard to get it to work with xmonad. You can either send what you want down a pipe and let polybar read from that pipe or you can use something like xmonad-dbus to let them talk via dbus.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing taffybar and xmonad-dbus you can also consider the following projects:
xmobar - A minimalistic status bar
status-notifier-item - A Haskell implementation of the StatusNotifierItem protocol (https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/StatusNotifierItem/).
splitmix - Pure Haskell implementation of SplitMix pseudo-random number generator
linux_notification_center - A notification daemon/center for linux
nix-deploy - Deploy software or an entire NixOS system configuration to another NixOS system
xmonad-log - DBus monitor for xmonad log events.
