We're looking at a $450 board which is fragile enough that Debian already owns a broken one and the supplier recommends N+2. Said boards will be shipped back and forth around the world at least once per year by external carriers. The FPGA code of the board, which is not yet written, needs add-on boards valued ~$100 for getting around the limitations of USB 2.0; but said cards are not available in volume, purchasable world-round quickly in a pinch, or with any kind of longer-term supply plan other than "stock your own". The cables needed to make the $550 construction work are not currently available at all. A purchase valued 18k€ in cameras alone is relying on this construct for the foreseeable future. The appeal of open hardware notwithstanding, the more I ponder this, the less sense it's making to me; fiscally and technology-wise.
