Looks great for a hobby project.

Has anyone done the cost + risk assessment of building a for-profit product on top of this? Would love to know, as I am working on a web IDE with collaboration. There’s also the matter of obscuring client data from 3rd and even 1st party.

If what you're building on top of leaks into other parts of your codebase, can't be isolated and can't easily be swapped out, I'd say avoid building a product on top of it.
A risk assessment? Just go and try it out in a prototype and see if you can make money with it. You can always replace it once successful.
