The "super simple protocol first to tantalize developers" worked really well for nostr (in comparison with the web3 specs or whatever). It's worth waiting couple years before making the protocol confusing and hard to learn 😉

In general the main metric that you are working with is the ( mental capacity * time invested ) of individual developers that will use the protocol. If you have too many concepts and things, only couple devs will learn it and use it.
