It still might be worth cooling this with LN2, in many applications, assuming critical current and critical field scale up as temperature decreases as they do with other superconductors.
It takes a long time to validate new stuff for medical devices. Even if this discovery completely pans out, there will be two or three generations of MRI machines based on LN2-cooled superconductors.
