putting extremely sensitive RF detectors on top of extremely power RF emitters doesn't seems the best match

  Until you realize every single satellite that both transmits and receives information has solved this problem already, including Starlink.

    I'm somewhat skeptical that every radio receiver is interchangable. Yes, starlink will have some kind of transceiver - but do you have any citation to back up the claim that it can be used effectively for astronomical observation? Even if the physics are fundamentally the same, all kinds of practical implementation details like orientation, bandwidth, frequency, and probably all kinds of stuff an actual expert in the field would know about may well differ.

    They got the signal to noise margins down enough for effective communication. That doesn't mean they'd be within orders of magnitude of optimal for measuring extremely weak signals.
