I think it would be cool if 100% of the digital logic was open source, and 100% of the analog was at least well-understood, and commoditized. Kind of like how you don't need an open source op-amp, they're well understood and commoditized (for most applications). Does it really take up a suitcase worth of electronics to do what the transceiver IC's are doing?

Probably not, but it's a tradeoff between integration and modularity/testability. Take a look at slide 23: https://ntms.org/files/Jan2018/Microwave_Radio_Cowtown_2018.pdf https://ntms.org/files/Jan2018/Microwave_Radio_Cowtown_2018.... Can you build that all onto one board? Yeah sure, after it's proven and set in stone.
