I'd like to hear more about that, at your leisure.
I'm wondering how much, as I finish furth, it'll be worth
reimplementing various parts in that context.

Hmm. That's an odd thing to say.
EGCS was a superficially friendly but underlyingly hostile fork and,
moreover, it _won_ --- killing and then assuming the name of GCC.
Sounds like you're talking about a superficially hostile but
underlyingly friendly alternative implementation which would either
"win" (in the sense that I'd switch) because it's unambiguously better
or, hopefully, just be a peer implementation with its own trade-offs
plus all the comfort that that should grant to users (having two tools
where before there was one).
