What does homeopathy need to move forward? What does perpetual motion machinery need to move forward?
This is not totally fair; it is possible given certain independence assumptions. But they are likely not physically realizable.
It is almost certain that even within our understanding of quantum systems it is simply not possible to have a quantum computer (much less create one). The assumptions necessary to produce a completely uncoupled system are likely invalid; we have yet to produce a compelling experiment to indicate otherwise. [1]

Goal 3 is exactly what Google has recently achieved with Willow. Actually, they did even better, reaching a distance-7 surface code (with a little over 100 qubits). Q.E.D. To be clear, I do think your article is interesting and was valid at the time, but it goes to show how fast the field is advancing.
