It also has yet to be tested at the very large scale of tens of thousands of users per instance. Then again, Lemmy itself may not work at the high end of that scale either, and PieFed sends roughly 25-fold less data per post (which is more a feature affecting the end-users rather than how beefy the instance admins need to make their servers to run PieFed software). It will be a nice challenge when we come to that.:-)
In the meantime, I use PieFed as my daily driver, handling ~99% of my Threadiverse traffic, and I am quite happy with it. Lemmy has fewer features but those that exist feel more "polished", while PieFed goes beyond what Lemmy offers in so many important ways, which demonstrates how much the dev actually LISTENS to the user base - unlike e.g. Mastodon - and that is so crucial!
And yes, agreed about your two additional points as well - I hope they never get burnt out!:-)
