Thanks for the elaborate response and sharing my feedback! I'm quite (maybe a bit oddly) enthusiastic about WYSIWYG editing, so this is great to see coming.
(Semi-tangent: I believe the reason so many people dislike WYSIWYG editing is that they've only experienced bad WYSIWYG editing)

Maybe you're missing the chance to make a dent here.
There's obviously a reason you built your own component: You didn't find anything satisfactory already on the market.
By providing a great solution everyone can just go and use, besides gaining you the usual open source good will, you could also increase Gitlab-Markdown's popularity. That sounds like it could be a bit of free marketing, in places you wouldn't usually otherwise reach.
Not sure if this is convincing or passes your cost/benefit analysis, but I wonder if it's something you've considered.
