This is a fantastic project and I can't wait to try it out!

One question on the network requirements. The web page says for networking: "200 ms or less, 50 Mbps or more".

How hard are these requirements? For folks like me that can't afford a guaranteed 50Mbps internet connection, is this still usable?

There are plenty of places in the world where 50Mbps internet connectivity would be a dream. Even here in Canada there are plenty of places with a max of 10Mbps. The African continent for example will have many more.

It's not a hard requirement, you might just have a harder time handling voluminous files as Garage nodes will in all case have to transfer data internally in the cluster (remember that files have to be sent to three nodes when they are stored in Garage, meaning 3x more bandwidth needs to be used). 10Mbps is already pretty good if it is stable and your ping isn't off the charts, and it might be totally workable depending on your use case.

This depends on your workload. It would work, but we first target fiber optics domestic connections.
