Have you tried to increase patch's fuzz factor with the --fuzz option in
order to achieve the same result?

I never used the rebase model described in the customization section.
Since you know both ways, why did you switch to patch files?

Nice work. I keep dwm and other suckless tools as submodules in my
personal configuration repositories with simple build and install
scripts. A central location to update all tools is something I'm
