Other than preventing some viewers seeing a delayed feed, why do I need a CDN at all? This can run off a single server with a 1Gbps uplink... can't it?

In any case there's plenty of people/organisations who run less regular streams and don't need to serve this many viewers.

Latency and scaling, yeah. Depending on stream setting and encoding you might saturate hardware before bandwidth.
