Roundabout + pedestrian stoplight is probably fine. I don't think I've ever seen one and I live not too far from where the article is written.
Seems like it's still worse for pedestrians as they have to wait for the beg button.
Here's a link to the Massachusetts Dept of Transportation's guide on designing/building roundabouts:
https://www.mass.gov/doc/massdot-guidelines-for-the-planning...
It provides solid guidance on how roundabouts should approach crossings to minimize risk of accidents or collisions without impeding traffic.
Probably the best graphic is on page 45, figure 5-13
