I personally feel like paid DERP is unfortunately the way of the future.

I think paid DERP could be an excellent model, especially since it lends itself well to small local companies that offer service for 5-10USD/mo.

I'm mostly concerned about whether the DERP protocol can scale in that way.

I think if there's revenue, they will revise and scale.

I suspect it'll be more complicated than a flat subscription, which is unfortunate. I think it'll be a combination of bytes and number of connections.
