From their page: "Sourcehut is currently available as a public alpha."
It all depends on whether we want to work on the specification, or if
we want to help test/develop SourceHut.

That's a really aggressive outlook. SourceHut has a great track record.In fact, check out GitLab's status page [0], look through the incidenthistory, and compare that with that of SourceHut [1]. SourceHut,although technically in alpha, is extremely reliable and has multiplelayers of redundancy [2], and has a complete public operations manual[3] documenting how carefully the instance is maintained. I suggest youcheck it out before making rash assumptions like this.

Installation instructions are quite scary
<https://man.sr.ht/installation.md>.

It's not great, I agree, but you don't have to set up one - just use<https://sr.ht>. As I've explained above, it's extremelywell-maintained.
