I think the primary value of a project like this is the demonstration that this is possible and a proof that it does not incur some unknown tradeoff you'll discover after spending resources doing it.
IMO the maintenance story is more or less solved if you can keep AI agents refactoring and improving it in a loop.

Apologies. I did not consider this when writing my comment, being spoilt by unlimited 'free' AI.
Free in quotes because, presumably, training agents on AI usage from developers is worth more than the cost of providing free AI.

That’s a weak argument, though, if the future of AI is totally unreliable when it comes to cost and quality. Right now I definitely wouldn’t want to depend on being able to infinitely access AI tools for such an important part of the toolchain.
Aside from that it’s just not attractive to trust a project made by one person.
