I really like the idea of this library and I've bookmarked it for future use, but following on from your point, it does feel disingenuous to make this promise in the introduction:

As you've pointed out, there _can_ be merge conflicts, they're just resolved arbitrarily. In theory, git could do this too but obviously nobody would use it then!

CRDTs themselves are inherently conflict-free, but if the problem you're solving is not, implementing via CRDTs is not the silver bullet you're looking for.
