Buck driver is only 4 parts: Coil, capacitor, Schottky diode, transistor. Easily made boardless.
I consider the time spend replacing burnt out LEDs to be more costly than getting it right in the first place, also a Buck would waste a lot less energy than a resistor. The limiting factor in Buck efficiency is how fast a schottky you can afford.
