Why not do it at your Meta page of the project? I had already asked some questions and shared feedback there. It seems like a more pertinent place than Wikipedia, as you can attract people from WikiProjects from various sister projects there for a shared discussion.
Probably because of the https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Not_my_wiki problem. To get significant levels of *ongoing* participation, it's most efficient to have discussions somewhere that will show up in regularly-checked-watchlists, and most editors (afaik) don't check their meta watchlists very often. Hopefully some combination of Flow, GlobalWatchlists, and GlobalNotifications, will eventually solve this perennial problem. (Note: the meta page mentioned, is https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:IEG/WikiProject_X )
This.
Mind you, we do welcome feedback and whatnot on the meta page, especially from folks from other projects. While WikiProject X is itself enwp-facing, there are likely to be many lessons to be learned from these other projects, and if it is successful, this may also prove useful to them later as well.
