There are some comments on the talk page, mainly from @Legoktm (thank you!). I have attempted to answer them and clarify some things.
The blog post has been advertised on the Wikitech-l mailing list (https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/5JEORFJGSGL3HCNRRGVZ3VAIAO3WMS5L/) and in Tech News, but I also realize that we may reach more people when I advertise it a bit more via Telegram (mainly the Hackathon group there). I will do so before closing this issue.

I'm very happy to see that there are some great additional comments (very thoughtful and very interesting ones) by @TheDJ and @TheresNoTime. Thank you. Would love to follow up and I indicated so on the talk page.
I have the impression that this discussion is still very much 'alive' and so I think it's worthwhile to keep this ticket open.
