Those aren't theme settings as you're used to, those are CSS variables and are exported along with the theme, so you can just export/import the theme between installations.

Already in, but we've not spoken about it yet.

Pages is its own thing, I'd imagine more complex templating for databases will be retained for that.
Yes, theme export still works as you'd expect containing theme editor settings, any custom CSS from the admin and any designer CSS/JS.
 
Yes, they are retained. The default theme does not have any custom settings, so the tab isn't shown.
Yes, you can use existing template syntax in the custom templates.

That is correct, you can add, but you cannot remove or modify existing data.
We do have a limited template front-end hook system (yet to be blogged) but that again does not have a replace option.

Considered and decided against it faster than a quantum computer could have managed it.

Existing sales are not, but I'm thinking about accelerating future sales of IPS Cloud which I believe would be greatly accelerated with an open-source self-hosted version of v4 or v5, especially if you could get the price of entry-level IPS Cloud to under $20/month. A free tier of the open-source version with limited features could make conversion to paying user accelerate.
Anyway, this is my last comment on this... I just wanted to get you to consider open source as an option to scale your business. You need all the help you can get from third-party developers to accelerate adoption of IPS Cloud, IMHO.

Happily, this isn't the case, and marketplace sales have declined by 75% over the past few years showing that sales are not on the strength of after-market add-ons.

Already in v5.
I think the sensible thing to do is wait for all the news of v5 to come out and then make an informed decision on your future. Trying to extrapolate v5 from a few dev blogs may lead to rash decisions.
I'd love to keep you as a customer, but if you do wish to move to xF then on the plus side you won't need to worry about new versions and there being significant changes in your future. 😄
