I'd bump that point and the integration with API's way up in the site copy. My first thought as an engineer when I see graphical programming tools is, "oooh...another one of those." It's the most controversial selling point. If I know I can do 90% of my backend work fast enough to slap an MVP together, the tradeoff might make sense. My default plan is a VPS with Flask or some other cheapo web app server that can pull 300req/s. That's a step beyond just using Heroku, but also a valid competitive option.

How would you position your product relative to Heroku in terms of power and how much schlep you trade for how much ease-of-use? I think it's very okay to be clear for now in order to convert well with your core customers.
