It's definitely a really cool project, but this doesn't really look like something that would scale. While a boardview is nice to have, investing what looks like hundreds of hours per board simply isn't viable for the vast majority of projects - especially the hobbyist market you seem to be targeting. You can get something similar-ish done quite cheaply in China: a digital copy of a 2-layer board is only $150[0], and turning that into a netlist shouldn't be too difficult. I expect multi-layer boards to be quite a bit more expensive, but still nothing like this process. Heck, even for a plain netlist it'd probably be orders of magnitude easier to DIY your own flying-probe machine. All the hardware for 3D printers is widely available, after all.
