I would say that at that point you’re probably just digging in your heels - that’s a major group that does serious work. You can also look at Aaron Ames’s PhD thesis and how that work in hybrid dynamical systems, driven by category theory, has shaped his current output (which is 20-50 papers/year as a full professor at CalTech).
