The lifetime one-time-payment pricing seems worrying to me. It feels like it would drive high levels of activity/maintenance during a growth curve, then probably fall off rapidly. Leaving little incentive to maintain it well after some point.

Whenever I see “lifetime guarantee” or anything like that, I think yeah, for the lifetime of the company, not the customer.

Yeh whenever I see “life time” pricing I think the author Is impatient and/or greedy and just wants as much money up front as possible. Where’s the incentive to keep plugging away at updates when less new customers are signing up.

Plex have this model too which worries me

Depends on the size of the niche, and how long and continuously you're reaching out to it.
