I like the idea of asking for payment during prototype demonstration, and watching how the surprise plays out (an idea I saw somewhere in one of the links in this article), but I could see it being fairly risky. Are there downsides to trying this that folks have experienced?

OP here. This was in the original tweetstorm that got me thinking: https://twitter.com/ibringtraffic/status/1319732207410237440

Strongly believe that you should ask for payment - until then everybody gives nice feedback. But the proof of the putting is in pulling your card/checkbook/Purchase Order out and eating the pudding.
