> a much more limited (vs. C#) pool of available developers

I don't plan to hire anyone in the foreseeable future but what I can say is that there's 2 people happily working on the F# codebase at the moment, that do not have any prior experience in the language (professional Swift/ObjC background and played around with other languages). Getting into it is quite easy if you're interested in FP. I wouldn't worry too much about that. Just get some people who are experienced in .NET and some people who are good in FP.

> limited support by tools beyond Microsoft ecosystem (e.g., by JetBrains products)

I use JetBrains Rider on a Mac, without major problems so far

Fair enough. Thank you, will keep this in mind.
