Requires configuration with JSON5 files and deployment via Docker or Nix, which can be daunting for teams unfamiliar with these tools or the RE protocol.

Prebuilt Docker images are only available for x86_64 systems, and raw Nix executables have caveats like dynamic linking issues on macOS, hindering ease of use.

Uses the FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0 license, which imposes commercial use restrictions for two years after release, potentially slowing adoption in proprietary environments.

Only works with build systems supporting the Remote Execution protocol, excluding common tools like Make, CMake, or standard CI/CD pipelines without additional integration work.
