If and when mysb.com disappears, there is an issue for Touch radio users. If one is running tinyLMS off a USB stick or SD card (ie no main LMS server) there seems to be no way of entering a radio URL. With mysb.com one can enter a URL in a favourite there, then select and add it to the local favourites. Without it one is, as far as I can determine, lost.
That's only one minor issue you'd be facing. TinyLMS relies heavily on mysb.com as a helper, eg. the ImageProxy, too.
This takes on more importance when some internet radio streams are restricted to national boundaries. Whilst adding #noslim=1 to a URL works for some, it does not work for all URLs. This has happened recently in the UK with the BBC mucking us about.
When mysb.com is gone, then you'll no longer have to worry about it sitting in a country which might be geo fenced...
So, it is plausible that TinyLMS could be extended to support a local 'Tune In' option?
No. Forget TinyLMS. It simply couldn't reasonably handle all the work it's currently delegating to mysb.com. But you'll probably get the octo-core Raspberry Pi 4+ Pro for 25 bucks by then ;-).
