Having contributed to KDE over the years and using the Phabricator in that time the main pain point with it for something like KDE is twofold - 1. it doesn't support the merge request workflow which a lot of would-be contributors would rather have than generating a massive patchset for a feature from a local tree, and 2. the lack of project isolation (having top level issues / commits / etc and second level repo selection vs top level repo that has issues / commits / etc).
I always felt like the second point is what really turns potential contributors off from Phabricator because there is no one "page" in it for a specific project, and unlike a lot of would-be good Phabricator use case KDE hosts all kinds of software with no relation to one another. Having them all occurring in a global issue namespace which is basically just tagged per-project and having to go through several directories to find the same project in different Phabricator applications is just a burden at that point.
