tufte-book + biblatex error: biblatex incompatible with natbib?

Question

I would like to compile a thesis with the tufte-book class. Is tufte-book supposed to be compatible with biblatex? This question suggests that it's possible? Maybe something changed since?
Here's a MWE:
documentclass{tufte-book}
usepackage[style=verbose, autocite=footnote, backend=biber]{biblatex}
addbibresource{../references.bib}

begin{document}

Hello World.

end{document}

The error is:
! Package biblatex Error: Incompatible package 'natbib'.

See the biblatex package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

l.202 blx@packageincompatibility

?

I tried using both Tectonic and pdflatex which the authors of tufte-book recommend in their README. This GitHub issue of tufte-latex suggests that they wish to switch to biblatex from natbib?

The tufte-latex classes load natbib by default and natbib is completely incompatible with biblatex (because natbib is based on the classical BibTeX and core-LaTeX approach to citations and bibliographies while biblatex completely reimplements citation and bibliography handling).
If you load tufte-book with the option nobib, it will not load natbib and you can use biblatex. (Note that both the question and answer in Can I use biblatex with Tufte classes? use the nobib option, but don't discuss its relevance explicitly.)
documentclass[nobib]{tufte-book}
usepackage[style=verbose, autocite=footnote, backend=biber]{biblatex}
addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

begin{document}
Hello World.autocite{sigfridsson}
printbibliography
end{document}

Note that with biblatex you need to compile your document with Biber and not with BibTeX (Biblatex with Biber: Configuring my editor to avoid undefined citations might be helpful).
