At least 70% of techies will probably be way happier if you do this. I don't like seeing things that aren't boring in real production, but there are other uses like promos and demos.
I don't care much about the low tech analog aspect, but I'd participate just as a social thing, although I'd be much more interested in the creative side than the retro tech, so I think it's important to not have the project purely tech-focused, so as to not leave out the people who aren't primarily motivated by ideas and abstractions like most devs.

The idea to keep the project less tech-focused is interesting, although as a dev I'm not sure how to achieve this.
