Unfortunately not every country has a small claims system. Also, I’m not entirely sure how etherum contracts work but if using them means money is transferred automatically upon objectivly measured completion, then I would very much like that even if I did have access to a small claims court.

That's the problem right there- defining "objectively measured completion" in such a way that the contract can act on.

Yes, I can imagine that would be difficult.
