I'm about to post out a new FOSS project I've been working on for a while, so this is making me a bit nervous

Don't overthink it. Just publish. And as for entitled users, remember that you don't owe them. If anyone insists on a feature, tell them that you can prioritize them for the right fee.

In reality, those demanding users only start to show up once you have a huge number of users. Post the project and just ignore support requests until you feel like working on it.
