Could not download zeroconf. If you wish skip this and install it via package manager, set the 'use-zeroconf' build option to false. See the README.

Looks like a dns issue.

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: raw.githubusercontent.com

it resolves ok here.

If you're building in a sandbox or chroot, maybe you need to give it internet access? Or just follow the recommendation and disable that step in your build. You can install python3-zeroconf instead. If you're not comfortable editing the debian/rules file you could simply change the default in the meson_options.txt file for bundle-zeroconf.

It looks like 0.36.4 is available on sid, which should work, though I can't guarantee this, as that module is heavily developed and they haven't been averse to breaking things in the past. This is the prime reason that a specific version is downloaded, one that warpinator was fully tested on.

You could also use pip3 to install the specific .29 version, though I generally think mixing pip with apt packages should be avoided if possible.
