A lot of stuff is quite commoditized already, and I never found the size of a user base a convincing metric to judge by (not to mention the chicken-and-egg problem that you just demonstrated).
People are doing genuinely hugely impressive production-grade work there, and I am currently looking at a SigNoz dashboard while >200 users are frantically clicking on dozens of places in our UI (contains many reactive bits); our code is nowhere near optimal and we very rarely get >150ms response times, most are 20-50ms, and we're talking some quite tame machines (2 of them) with 8GB RAM and 2 CPU cores... and even then 90% - 99% of the time is spent waiting on the database.

Bootstrapping remains a tricky territory, not because it can't be done very quickly but because it leaves a lot of tech debt behind that has to be paid off, inevitably, at one point.
