I also wonder why they mention modern pbkdf's just briefly, if at all.

this is nothing more than shitty BLAME SHIFTING!!!

since the user logs in with normal password auth procedure,
someone has to deal with the password auth anyway!

the entire article can be safely and losslessly truncated to:

Let's make another server store the passwords and we can talk how 
beautifully our server can avoid storing passwords.

THIS IS WORSE THAN NOTHING!
it consumes my time and energy (by reading this hollow pseudo-science)
it devalues the research and gives bad name to science
IT INCREASES THE ATTACK SURFACE.
