Of course they published more on this study as time went by...
Jack Lissauer's paper
The Astrophysical Journal article, which concludes that any planets are likely to be dry due the lack of volatile rich planetesimals forming out of the disk - too turbulent in such regions thanks to the binary companion.
So pretty cool... except for that downer. Maybe comet delivery would be feasible (or already provided by Nature) from Proxima's comet cloud?
Lissauer is still publishing new studies on planet formation in binary systems - it shouldn't be a major problem. Question remains: is planetesimal theory really how it happened?
