Great work! I started georeferencing old plat maps and aerial photographs from my area in QGIS and realized quickly it would be hard to ask other for help without a platform like this.
I’ll try running my own and see about importing existing work. Have you thought about extending the public site scope beyond insurance maps?
Yes, at certain points, like when I made that ohmg.dev website, I have looked at this as a re-deployable platform that anyone could self-host. It still technically is, but I've slowed down a lot on that idea (no one really showed up with interest). There are other good places to georeference maps on the web, like mapwarper.net and allmaps.org. That said, I do hope to expand to handle import of other atlases, not only Sanborns, and if you have something particular in mind you can mention it here: https://github.com/ohmg-dev/OldInsuranceMaps/issues/266
There is no viable alternative to DJI’s Enterprise offerings. I get that we are trying to bolster domestic tech but this is a stick when it should be a carrot.
Won’t DJI’s current offerings still be available? I bought a Phantom 4 Pro 5 years ago that I use for mapping and it still does the job. I would expect that Enterprise drones would work the same way. Sure we’re not going to get the next new better faster model so in that scenario it does give time for a domestic company to engineer an offering.
Assuming they're USB devices they shouldn't be a reason to do this... Apple moved third-party drivers for USB devices and audio HAL extensions to user space, so there's some minor overhead choosing DriverKit over IOKit. Everything I've dug up says it's low single digit percentages. I wouldn't be developing USB drivers against IOKit anymore personally and I'd be looking to move over pretty aggressively before Apple drops the hammer.

My 7th grade math teacher once said “you can factor prime numbers until the angel Gabriel blows his horn at the end of time but it ain’t gonna do you no good!”
She also referred to improper fractions as “big top” or Dolly Parton “because she’s big up top, you know what I mean?”
You mentioned Pocket Beagle, but did you know the OSD335x[1] is readily available on Mouser and DigiKey? I certainly would have specified one instead of a BBB if it was available during our product development cycle.
