Epistemic status: Speculation from two decently informed advocates armed with anecdata.
Note on process: After having some version of this conversation several times and saying, “we should probably write about this publicly,” we took the less heroic route: we recorded one of our conversations, fed the transcript into an LLM, and then substantially revised the structure, substance, and framing ourselves.

Contributions and comments welcome.
If you're technical, feel free to submit a PR directly on GitHub. Or DM'ing me here works too.
I hope it's useful for those trying to get a quick idea of what this space looks like.
Thanks.
