You can make as many repositories as you'd like in with a project.
Divide the repositories up as much as you'd like (as much as makes sense
for you and the community). Having the functionality in a separate
repository in the incubator will certainly make it much easier to move
to the proper project when the time comes. Separating different
functional/experimental areas into separate Git repositories makes a lot
of sense to me. YMMV.

If somebody wants to use incubating code in production, that's their
choice. The incubation flag is your warning to the community; they may
choose to ignore those warnings.

My outsider opinion is that moving this functionality into a separate
repository is a net win if you can turn the adopters into
contributors/committers.
