See also the Turnip Exchange[0], which has set up automated queue systems for people to visit other people's islands to buy and sell turnips, and now appears to be expanding into other AC:NH trade.
It's been super impressive to watch how quickly the devs there have built out really useful features, and managed the growth in interest - pretty sure the Turnip Exchange Discord is >22,000 people.

considering their patreon currently gives them $11k a month I'd say yes they have interest.

The other thing it ignores is the HUGE number of people time traveling. Because of this, it’s trivial to find somewhere to sell for 500+ if you’re willing to put in an hour of effort on /r/ACTurnips. I “settle” for 350 because way fewer people try to get onto those islands and I can be done faster.

Hey there, author here. For sure, I hinted at this on the last paragraph of the post. The interesting bit is that if you do that you will build a more diversified portfolio (as the turnip price distributions on other islands are not correlated).
And for sure, if you have access to other people islands a lot of this becomes moot, as you will probably just sell at the highest price in any of your friends islands :)
You can afford to be far more risky than the model suggests if you have a few friends or an active Discord group because on any given day you can almost surely find an island with a profitable price if you need it in a pinch.
