Already running a worse version of ublock origin:

Recent Firefox, atleast on Windows 10, is just as fast as Chrome for me. With addons like vertical tabs, adblock it has more features too.
Vivaldi is still the features and UI king but too slow for me.

"On Windows, create a directory called distribution where the EXE is located and place the file there. On Mac, the file goes into Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/distribution. On Linux, the file goes into firefox/distribution, where firefox is the installation directory for firefox, which varies by distribution or you can specify system-wide policy by placing the file in /etc/firefox/policies."

Your claim that service workers are more idiomatic than background pages ignores months of debate and examples to the contrary collected by the w3c web extensions group. [0]
This could be an area where MV3 walks itself back. One proposal creates an Extension Worker which is a new concept like a Service Worker but better matches the use cases for background scripts.

ExtPay
The JavaScript library for ExtensionPay.com — payments for your browser extensions, no server needed.
I run a service that lets browser extension developers take payments in their extensions without needing to run their own servers* and it's been frustrating watching the MV3 rollout. The documentation isn't good, there are unresolved issues, and every developer making an extension adopts it because Google says that's the new thing everyone has to use.
And sigh, I hope uBlock Origin continues to work — the web sucks without it. Maybe Mozilla could hire the devs and integrate it into Firefox.

Are they still planning to block for content scripts?
Website blocking extensions like my Productivity Owl (https://github.com/mrieck/productivityowl) would be completely pointless if you have to allow it on every page you visit.
