As a merchant and user i expect features, that might open doors to restricting the use of bitcoin in unforeseable ways, to not end up being pushed that fast and I do not like the idea you talked about at MIT to involve the blockchain to support a lot of speciality use cases in the future as well.
So far not even taproot is fully implemented everywhere and it was integrated quite a while ago.
I see this as a distraction in focus on what the blockchain should be.
I do see a certain need for the features but I do not see any of them as urgent nor belonging where you want them.
