IPFS domaim is very wide so different issues affect different parts in different ways.
One major hurdle is browsers not being made for p2p. We will need http gateways and other centralized compatibility layers for the time being, which are costly and very prone to abuse. I have hopes in better webrtc support to improve interop with browsers.
Other than that, a DHT at the scales we aim for in terms of indexed content is a problem when 95% of nodes are clients which don't contribute to it. NAT hole punching and supernodes will help.
With IPFS becoming the delivery layer for content stored on Filecoin, and being the standard storage layer for NFTs, there are certainly incentives for the protocols to be used and usage to keep growing heavily.
