You are right that miners have little to lose if they try to fuck with Rootstock, but is only true as long they have nothing to gain too, but they also can lose their mining pool reputation, but then again maybe no one cares. I simply am confortable with the fact that getting 50% of miners to agree to coordinate to do anything is impossible. But that is just me.

There is one alternative that i would consider better which is a Metaprotcol on Bitcoin itself. The block space scarcity and high latency doesnt matter when your needs are scarce but consequential, like a registry or a DAO or managing proof of stake for another layer etc.

Brc20 and the like are already doing that, but they depend on a reference binary with centralized development... one can imagine using RiscZero to create a metaprotocol that is entirey minimal and ossified and thus needs no central authority to ship updates.
