The risk that if Wizards moves forward with undertaking #3, that they can remain big and assholey for longer than you can remain solvent. (Giving up 25% of your revenue is obviously an enormous blow, but seems possible to be in a position where you think you can just about squeeze by long enough to pivot if you suck it up and take their terms as you try to move away from doing any new 1.1-related works.)

To be fair, Hasbro seems to pull this every other major D&D version since introducing the OGL with 3rd edition, so we should expect Two D&D to be a return to more open licensing after the inevitable debacle of One D&D. Sucks to be one of the companies that exists solely around the ecosystem of the 5e wave of “Hasbro is trying to encourage third party support rather than squeezing producers”, or one of the ones that survived the 4e squeeze because Hasbro didn’t try to squeeze pure legacy use.
