So how ready is Ink/Stitch for an average consumer? My mom is recently retired and embroiders occasionally. I don't think she does anything more custom than a monogram. It was only a few years ago I pulled off old designs from floppy disks. I think her current equipment accepts USB but she leans on the cloud to get designs onto the machine. She's not geeky with computers, but is competent enough to use an iPad and used MS Office sweet when she was working. Does it sound like this is something worth introducing her to?

If she's not doing anything more complicated than monograms, I'd honestly stick with using the downloaded/custom designs. As it sounds like she's just using those she'd have to learn two things. The first being inkscape, which like any graphics program is a decent challenge to learn. Then on top of that, she'd have to learn the embroidery specifics which is another challenge. Digitizing is just a whole level above using premade designs. It's more a replacement for Hatch/Embrilliance than for brother.com's library of designs.
