Thank you! My perspective is: “figuring out if it’s tractable is at least tractable enough that it’s worth a lot more time/attention going there than is currently”, but not necessarily “working on it is far and away the best use of time/money/attention for altruistic purposes”, and almost certainly not “working on it is the best use of time/money/attention under a wide variety of ethical frameworks and it should dominate a healthy moral parliament”.
