Some time ago, I read from a comment from a UBports dev that they were disappointed that the influx of new developers coming with the Pinephone they hoped for didn't materialize for them. I think that the points you make may very well be the reason. Once they complete the upgrade of their system/software/library stack (from 16.04 to 20.04) and dev tools, it may make their project more attractive to new developers interested in adapting it to the Pinephone.
And what would be very interesting is the migration of the Lomiri UI (formerly Unity 8) to more distros. For now only Manjaro has it (still in Alpha stage I think), and a Mobian port is apparently in the works but will require packages to be upstreamed to Debian.
