Looks good, but the form factor of the Yubikey Nano is much nicer for laptops. Once it's in, you just leave it in there, and you don't need to worry about knocking/bending/snapping it. I could see one of these living in my desktop, but then I'd choose a Yubikey over it again for the OpenPGP support. I'm already using a separate Yubikey with my phone over NFC. I'm pretty sure that wont work when I get my librem 5 though. I don't even think that's coming with NFC. But my new option for Librem will probably end up being another Yubikey instead of this. Specifically the 4C Nano, as I will hopefully be able to stick it in the phones USB-C port and let it live there whilst it's not charging. So, looks good, but not for me. Hopefully you're a success and are able to bring out some different form factors at some point in the future.

You only have to leave the key in by choice. For example, I use my Solo to authenticate login for google. But, I only need it on login....which really doesn't happen very often from my laptop. So, I am not leaving my key embedded in my laptop, which presents a problem if you actually have your laptop lifted at Starbucks!

  Yeah, I choose to leave it in there, so I don't have to think about it. For me, that's the thing that finally switched using 2FA from being a burden, to neutral. I have multiple Yubikeys, and fall back to TOTP on my phone and watch, so if my laptop is lifted, I will care about the financial/inconvenience loss of the laptop, but not the Yubikey.
