>multi-user support is planned

The github issues are nothing more than a wishlist. There doesn't seem to be any serious plans for this feature and no one seems interested in working on it. Limiting the user would require rewriting a large portion of the Qubes tools since they assume that the user has unrestricted access to the Xen API. I have looked at the feasibility of doing this myself in hopes of using Qubes in a corporate context but after looking into the architecture it became clear that I would never have time for such an undertaking.

>in the future a "qube" will be able to run on independent hardware

Qubes Air is vaporware and not under active development. There isn't much more to it beyond that blog post.

This is not exactly true, see the proof of concept:

I suppose you didn't see the reply from a developer right under the post you linked.
I did. It's jut not true that it's vaporware. There was some progress.
A proof of concept after five years and no serious plans going forward. There are plenty of vaporware with more to show.
No serious plans during the work on the new, big release. Today, the release is finished, so it should have changed.
