Personally, I have a similar project and I think I'm going to go the Patreon route, maybe merch. My followers/users aren't mega wealthy or enterprise users, and I work on my project for the community and the love of it. I never want to make them the product. This route won't make me mega rich or famous, but it will live and maybe even give me breathing room to prioritize it along with my professional work.
