This is badly worded and difficult to understand. What is "the project's main executable"?

Ultimately I would like to add e.g. meson.set_run_target(exe) to let define from meson.build what it the project's run command. For now if there is one and only one installable exe it picks it, otherwise it's an error.
How would you rephrase?

If we don't have such an API then we shouldn't write documentation as if we do -- we can always reword the documentation if and when we get such an API.
If you're suggesting to create a guess mode then it should just say that straight out: "--bin is required unless the project only contains a single installable executable".

Rephrased the doc now that we don't have --bin in devenv anymore. Is it better?
