I think it's substantial risk for the core business. To be able to glue usage to invoice, Orb has to become the source of truth and billing engine top of Stripe, while Stripe is still the payment gateway. This creates a fragmented world where the customer has to use both systems simultaneously; this is challenging especially that Stripe ships features fast and frequently, leaving the customer exposed and vendor locked.
