Well, no. There is always a possibility.
We can detach the Wikitech contributors prototype development from any
content migration and leave
mediawiki.org undisrupted during this first
phase.
Wikitech has the basic software we need to build a prototype quicker and
easier. Life in
mediawiki.org would continue as it is. Everybody would be
welcome to join the experiment but nobody would be forced to.
If/when the prototype is ready we can discuss about next steps with a
better common understanding.

Thanks for these edits Quim, especially adding specific questions you're
trying to answer with each feature/iteration.
I think separating out the wiki migration issue and prototyping new
features on wikitech is a good way to diffuse any stress around either
question. This is a much better way to move forward, and I'm happy to help
try out any features related to structured user pages, projects, events,
etc. when you're ready for that.
