Ethereum is a fascinating project, however, what exactly do you mean by "it is likely to be an indispensable element of FreedomBox"?
Yes, your FreedomBox could be running an Ethereum node. And/or a Bitcoin full node. There's another project called Bitseed <https://bitseed.org/> which is already doing that. Unlike everything else on FreedomBox, running a blockchain full node doesn't have any immediate benefit for an average user! It's true and a quite cool thought that you're helping the project, and you can be part of the blockchain network by doing this, yes. OTOH, running a blockchain node on a tiny box is pretty much irrelevant for the larger network, given the existence of huge mining pools. Another option (either as an alternative to running a full node, or in addition to running a full node), is to run blockchain-based apps on FreedomBox. E.g. you can have a Bitcoin wallet on the FreedomBox, or you can install what Ethereum calls "Dapps". +1 to adding Bitcoin and/or Ethereum to FreedomBox, just make sure you understand what it means.
