The biggest limitation with FPGA seems to be that there are too few FPGA (VHDL) developers, and they have too little spare time to work on the projects. So a lot of FPGA projects look promising for a while, then they get abandoned and the stream of updates dries up. This means they never reach the same level of maturity/compatibility as e.g. UAE, which has been updated regularly for two decades.

Well all Amiga platforms are toys and hobby platforms for enthusiasts. Doesn't make them less viable as products - the majority of the stuff we buy except for the bare necessities like food etc. are "toys".
If people enjoy using Vampire, AmigaOne or whatever then great for them. I think most sane individuals realize that for getting actual work done (the kind you get paid for), you're much better off with a modern operating system and CPU architecture (unless you are one of the 3 people in the world that still makes money from Amiga development).
