This recent blog post shows just how cheap and easy it is remotely detonate something (for just $50US in parts) and even to hack into control systems using free cloud servers and a search engine that can find connected devices? Is this all paranoia or something to be concerned about?

What is most scary is the shodan search engine that is mentioned. If you know what you are doing you can do something like enter a search filter to find all power plant logic controllers and then try to remotely control them.

Do you think this is real or just click bait?

It is real. It is also click bait.
