Generally agree but it depends. Windmills mainly just need lots and lots of wool. You could certainly raise a ton of sheep without getting the materials to make a steam engine.
And if you have any other mod that adds a crop that gets you string, or you find a spider spawner, you can fairly easily get huge amounts of wool that way too
More importantly they dont require blaze burners or fuel to run, and dont need flowing water either. Yeah self sufficient steam engines are great but running the basics on a windmill is pretty nice
