At present the project is focused on mobile platforms, specifically Android and iOS, as they cover the vast majority of users and real-world use cases

It’s really the situation with government websites requiring ie6 and macromedia flash, all over again.

Maybe your ISO is somehow not offline-friendly and try getting another one

Not OP, but Neobackup (full app backup) and Hail (ability to “freeze” - stop apps until you explicitly run them again) are my two big use cases for root

It is not. But if OP is worried about state attackers, the network may be a problem too

The cellular modems are vulnerable to attacks from towers, so if you’re worried about things like stingrays, you should also worry about malware installed from cell towers.

Anything connected to the cellular network should be considered compromised, it doesn’t matter if you’re using a SIM from your own country or a local one if it goes through towers of the country you’re visiting.

If you’re so concerned, turn on airplane mode before leaving the network you trust and take a separate device for sharing internet over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

My project has been used by random companies at some point, never again, I can’t recommend it to anyone. At first it was nice to have my stuff getting real world use but the never ending issues asking for new features and pressure to keep everything up to date was exhausting. It was a relief to archive it, never again.
