It would be good if the authors would have extended figures 20, 21, and 22 out to networks of size 20,000 or more nodes. Or at least described what they expect to happen. I.e. if you have many more nodes, does the throughput remain above 1k tps?

I also always like authors who are willing to acknowledge the limitations of their work. If this work described the limitations I didn't see it; maybe they think there are none :-)

Cursory reading, they do seem to discuss limitations. They say that the system is not guaranteed to provide liveness for double-spends.
