Yes, in the case of failure, backers and non backers alike will get access to whatever was developed by the time of failure. You're guaranteed of this, because the project is actually publicly developed under an open source license on GitHub: https://github.com/vgc/vgc
Yes, it is open source, under the Apache 2.0 License. The source code for the prototype VPaint is here: https://github.com/dalboris/vpaint and the source code for VGC Illustration is here: https://github.com/vgc/vgc
Bonus points for implementing Cryptomatte, it's underutilized in the animation world (IMO mainly because After Effects is wildly behind the curve with EXR support) and has the potential to be wildly awesome in a vector animation → rasterized image comp workflow... but possibly beyond version 1 of your application ;)
There are two industry standard systems for colour management, ICC profiles and OCIO. Both are good and have their own strengths and weaknesses, OCIO isn't really applicable in the print world for example. Seeing as your application is focused towards both designers and animators you'd do well to have some sort of implementation of both of these. Affinity does this part really well, look to them for inspiration. This bit should essentially be a requirement for all graphics software but with the rise of web-based software like Figma we've seen some developers completely ignore it and continue to push unmanaged nonsense. Don't be like those guys! Because you followed step 1 here you'll need to give your users ways to manage their input and output transforms.
