Depends how long you want to last. On boarding developers is much easier when something is new. But then it gets much harder.
The economics of nostr are that of generosity. Jack & co. very kindly donate about 50k-100k sats per daily user to keep development going. The relay operators donate their time and resources to keep the network going.
That goodwill tends to run out after a while (normally 6-18 months). UX is key of course, but nostr has lots of really good UX. Most of the devs that have left are not coming back. And you end up with a finite runway.
