It depends of what you want to do rather than what find can do. For
instance you said:

and in response, you got a simple mean of doing it "The Arch Way" using
inventory instead of glob patterns.
Later you write:

So I concluded that in "demonstrated disadvantages", the demonstration
was in fact based on the wrong premise, i.e. "I absolutely must use
'find', and without ! -path '*{arch}*' to do this". Bah, maybe I just
mixed up the different meanings "demonstrate" has.
Besides, replacing '{arch}' with '.arch' won't help at all when
invoking 'find [A-Za-z]*' from the root of a multi-project tree. A
better way of solving this problem consists of adding something like
alias archfind="find ! -path '*{arch}*'"
to a shell startup file.
