I can confirm that funding one's work on an open-source project through sponsoring is one hell of a ride. As you said, most people are not concerned by OSS funding, let alone companies that have a hard time justifying paying for something free...

However, OSS is not incompatible with some form of monetization, coming up with a plan to sell courses, custom services, or cloud options is probably a safer road.
