I love how, in the last few years, open source infrastructure has become more of a thing.
We're using this Philips Labs module at $dayjob. It's a great piece of work!

POSIX shells does indeed have many problems, including lack of data types and various security limitations. I like the point OP is making that shells should focus on being interactive, but not so scriptable.
For scripting, it's better to resort to a simpler solution that doesn't even need complexities like parsing or data types. In a Unix environment all you need is the ability to compose commands together. This is what execline is for:

It is absolutely possible. Where I work, developers have no more than 4-6 hours of meetings per week!
We do meandering sync calls[1] for 1 hour, four times a week. Plus a weekly demo call.
It's a matter of how much your management cares about developer experience and efficiency. Get another job :)

As far as I understand, this initiative is primarily about reducing hardcoded dependencies on Busybox. As such, this is indeed what would enable alternative implementations to exist cleanly alongside whatever is the default.
Because yeah, trying to change Alpine's init system, mdev, or other coreutils is indeed not easy/feasible at the moment.

Looks like a very interesting piece of software. The declarative service file interface of systemd is a distinguishing feature no other supervisor supports (to my knowledge).
On a side note, I know that skarnet is working towards declarative service files as a possible interface in the next major versions of s6 and s6-rc:

>> Declarative service files. The model of unit files, where users can just write key=value lines instead of scripts, has been a resounding success for systemd — and it is also good end-user design (provided the parser correctly validates the files). And it can be done as a separate user interface layer, running on top of the more minimalistic engine.
The BSDs are definitely not for everyone, and they come with their own set of tradeoffs. However, it is safe to say that all BSDs are better today than 10 years ago. Small and steady improvements over time.
