People have been saying some variant of "the fediverse won't work at scale if it stays free and without ads" for a decade now. And yet it keeps growing despite remaining free and without ads.

Nope. The Business Source License isn't an open source license. https://opensource.org/licenses/ (not to be confused with the Boost Source License, which is open source).
I think you're missing the forest for the trees here.
PeerTube accounts are for video makers, not video watchers. If I want to watch a PT video, I can do so without an account. If I want to leave a like or comment, I'll do so from my mastodon or misskey account. The reason Peertube servers don't tend to federate with each other is because they don't need to: they federate with mastodon/misskey/pleroma servers for the people who want to watch. (also, the https://spectra.video/about/follows page OP linked seems to ignore non-peertube follows?)
As for finding new videos on PeerTube, I recommend using sepiasearch.org

I haven't heard of WireMin until now. Looking at their FAQs, they have a lot of promises and not much to back them up. There's a lot of red flags here
- Closed source. It appears to be totally proprietary, so you can't look at the source code to ensure that they aren't lying about their product
- They will be introducing microtransactions into their chat app; likely using cryptocurrency.
- It's full of web3 crypto nonsense. It seems to me the only real plan to fund development is to be bought out by a large investor in the future.
